arXiv:2606. 07577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Audio-visual large language models (LLMs) hold strong promise for long-form video understanding, yet their long-video inference is fundamentally limited by the linear growth of video tokens and key-value (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 (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 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.
