Replicate explains how they optimized FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] using TaylorSeer, a method that approximates intermediate diffusion steps by caching derivatives, enabling faster inference without quality loss.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://replicate.com/blog/flux-kontext-optimization:

> TaylorSeer offers a solution for this. It uses Taylor series to approximate the model's output at a timestep using a series of cached derivatives, capturing non-linear change.
