Abstract

Multi-subject video generation faces two key challenges: uncontrollable fidelity strength and potential semantic drift. We address these by analyzing the internal mechanisms of Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). We found that certain attention blocks naturally form an Intrinsic Spatial Grounding Map (ISGM) that precisely locates reference subjects. Building on this insight, we propose Dual-phase Intrinsic Attention Leveraging (DIAL), a framework that uses these internal signals for both training and inference. In low-noise stages, we use ISGM to guide the attention mechanism, allowing precise control over fidelity strength during inference without retraining. In high-noise stages, we use these same maps to automatically build preference pairs at no additional cost for Reinforcement Learning (RL). This RL procedure effectively anchors the model's attention to reference subjects and mitigates semantic drift. Extensive experiments show that DIAL significantly outperforms baseline models on the OpenS2V-Eval benchmark, consistently improving identity consistency and enabling controllable fidelity strength.
