arXiv:2603. 14294v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Do video diffusion models encode signals predictive of physical plausibility?
By Chujun Tang, Lei Zhong, Fangqiang Ding
Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization.

LayerRecall is a memory router for autoregressive video diffusion that selectively retrieves and injects historical key/value states into specific layers of the model, based on the current context. It addresses the problem that existing memory mechanisms expose nonlocal history but do not guarantee effective use, by recognizing that different layers prefer current, recent, or distant context. The method, combined with Cross‑Horizon Prediction Matching, achieves state‑of‑the‑art long‑range consistency on MemoBench and MovieBench while maintaining local continuity and incurring negligible inference overhead.

TT-VidT is a video pretraining method that decouples the temporal axis by combining a per‑frame ViT-B/16 spatial encoder with a compact Temporal Transfer Layer trained via Diff Compression. The authors conduct a systematic 24‑configuration study to isolate architecture, objective, and decoder effects, showing that the full TT-VidT design yields the strongest motion‑sensitive representations. In downstream fine‑tuning, TT‑VidT outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines on Jester, Something‑Something V2, ARID, and Diving48 while using significantly fewer encoder FLOPs.
