CORAL-KV: Compact Cross-Layer Prediction and Residual Coding for Autoregressive Video KV Caches

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.

Token-Budget Distillation: Transferring Full-Token Semantics to Compressed Video Vision-Language Models

Token-Budget Distillation (TBD) is a parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning framework that adapts video vision‑language models to a fixed token budget. It freezes the pretrained backbone, updates only LoRA adapters, and incorporates FlashVID visual token compression. TBD uses a dual‑path teacher‑student design with full‑token supervision and compressed student optimization, enabling the student to recover full‑token semantics while remaining efficient under aggressive token reduction.

MILO: Efficient Many-shot In-Context Learning with Block-wise Low-rank Compression

MILO is a compression framework that reduces the key-value cache memory used in many-shot in-context learning by applying block-wise low-rank compression. It dynamically allocates rank budgets to blocks based on information entropy, preserving important information while aggressively compressing redundant parts. Experiments on Qwen2.5 models show up to a 50% reduction in KV cache memory and a 1.8× throughput improvement with negligible performance loss on classification and reasoning tasks.

STaR-KV: Spatio-Temporal Adaptive Re-weighting for KV Cache Compression in GUI Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2606. 01790v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-model-based graphical user interface (GUI) agents have shown broad automation capabilities, yet deployment is bottlenecked by a key-value (KV) cache that grows linearly with interaction steps.
