Velox: Spatial Memory Makes World Models Efficient

Velox is a training‑free attention router that improves the efficiency of video world models by selecting region‑level context through frustum slab correspondences derived from streaming geometry. It represents past blocks as camera frustum slabs with depth intervals and uses a recency‑priority multiwarp to obtain current‑block depth, soft‑modulating importance for well‑covered regions while preserving model‑derived routing for uncovered areas. The fixed token‑block granularity aligns with FlashAttention‑style tiled execution, reducing the attention term that grows with rollout length and achieving significant speedups—4.36× acceleration in attention and 2.43× in denoising at chunk 48—while maintaining performance close to dense models on the WBench navigation split.

FastBench: Can Streaming VLMs Perceive High-Dynamic Real-World Streams?

FastBench is a new benchmark that tests streaming Video‑Large‑Language Models (VLMs) on high‑dynamic real‑world video streams, where events occur rapidly and cannot be captured by sparse 1–2 FPS sampling. The benchmark uses a trajectory‑grounded pipeline that generates QA pairs from high‑FPS clips, filters questions answerable at 2 FPS, verifies answers with SAM3 and CoTracker3 trajectories, and incorporates three rounds of human inspection, yielding 306 QA pairs across eight domains and multiple temporal scopes. Experiments show that even the strongest model, Gemini‑3.5‑Flash, achieves only 50.7 % accuracy, and that denser sampling improves performance but saturates when history is compressed; a training‑free baseline, ProactiveFrame, outperforms uniform sampling but still falls short of oracle‑guided focusing.

HeadCast: Casting Attention Heads for Efficient Autoregressive Video Generation

arXiv:2607. 20125v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models have become a promising paradigm for long and streaming video synthesis, but the continuously growing Key-Value (KV) cache makes attention the dominant inference cost, especially at high resolution where each frame contributes many tokens.
