Token merging is an effective approach to reducing KV-cache memory consumption in autoregressive video generation by clustering temporally redundant tokens and retaining only a small set of representa...
CORAL-KV is a new framework for compressing the key‑value (KV) cache used by autoregressive video diffusion models. It predicts keys and values across cache layers using block‑diagonal‑plus‑low‑rank (block‑DPLR) predictors, then quantizes only the residuals, offering a flexible trade‑off between fidelity and memory usage. In extensive tests on HY‑WorldPlay and MAGI‑1, the reusable configuration outperforms QVG‑4 by up to 4.95 dB PSNR while reducing cache memory by 37–48 %, and the video‑adapted configuration surpasses QVG‑Pro by 3.77 dB PSNR with 33.7 % less memory, all while maintaining comparable latency and reducing temporal discontinuities.

Autoregressive video diffusion models provide a natural formulation for streaming and variable-length video generation by conditioning newly generated frames on previously generated content. However, extending these models to minute-level generation remains challenging: the limited KV-cache budget prevents the model from retaining the full history, while repeatedly conditioning on self-generated frames induces a context distribution shift that accumulates over time, leading to visual artifacts, quality degradation, and temporal drift.

Focused Forcing is a training‑free method for selecting key‑value (KV) cache entries in autoregressive video diffusion models. It selects historical frames per generated frame by combining attention and diversity scores, and allocates larger budgets to more important heads. The approach yields up to 1.48× faster generation while improving visual quality and text alignment across several generation paradigms.
