Deep neural networks deployed on smart glasses must adapt to changes in the distribution of incoming data while adhering to strict privacy and device constraints. We present No Frames, Just Frequencies, a bandwidth-efficient source-assisted adaptation framework that characterizes distribution shifts using compact frequency descriptors computed on-device. Rather than transmitting camera frames, the glasses compute and send frequency descriptors to a host device that contains a replica of the model. The host device maps the received frequency descriptor to a distribution shift operator that synthesizes out-of-distribution data and adapts a model replica using a pre-defined adaptation protocol. We evaluate the framework on mixtures of ImageNet-C corruptions using convolution-based (ConvNeXtV2-Femto), self-attention-based (DeiT-Tiny), and hybrid (TinyViT-5M) vision models, on person classification (Visual Wake Words), and on object detection (MS-COCO). Our results reveal that adaptation driven solely by the transmitted descriptors recovers $93-95\%$ of the supervised oracle adaptation gain on all three architectures, $82\%$ on Visual Wake Words and $94$--$98\%$ on MS-COCO. Notably, adaptation quality degrades gracefully as the descriptor resolution decreases from $224 $ to $28$ pixels, consistently across architectures, enabling bandwidth reductions from $213\times$ to $784\times$ across the frequency descriptors.
Distribution-matching distillation enables high-quality image generation in only a few denoising steps. However, distilled student models often map different initial noise samples to similar outputs under the same prompt. To locate where diversity is lost, we compare the teacher and student along the sampling trajectory. The largest measured reduction in the response to different initial noises occurs during the first, high-noise step. When we replace the first step with the teacher's corresponding trajectory and leave the final three student steps unchanged, most of the output diversity returns. This suggests that the first step is a key point for restoring diversity. Motivated by this finding, we introduce \emph{ReSeed}, a post-distillation method that adds a seed-response bias adapter only to the first student step and aligns its velocity with the teacher's first-interval secant velocity. All student weights and later denoising steps remain unchanged. We evaluate ReSeed on three text-to-image models (SD3-Medium, SD3.5-Medium, and FLUX.1-dev) and one text-to-video model (Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B). For a distilled 4-step FLUX.1-dev model, \emph{ReSeed} requires only $0.00196\%$ additional trainable parameters relative to the base model and is trained on 8,000 prompt--noise pairs, while keeping the distilled student fully frozen and requiring no target images, perceptual losses, or adversarial losses. It improves DINO diversity by $48.3\%$ while maintaining competitive visual quality. These results show that substantial diversity can be recovered through a lightweight, data-efficient tuning of only the first denoising step, without finetuning the full student model.
