Autoregressive generation underlies real-time, causal video synthesis and is the backbone of video world models. Today's dominant approach distills a bidirectional diffusion model into a causal few-st...
The paper introduces Conditional Residual Prediction (CRP), a technique that reduces a causal video diffusion model’s dependence on past frames by having the model first predict the current frame without conditioning on history and then adding a residual based on the past. This approach allows training a causal model from an image‑model initialization without requiring a bidirectional teacher or complex distillation, and it nearly closes a 6.14‑point quality gap to a bidirectional model. Using CRP, the authors train Optica, a 2‑billion‑parameter causal video model that generates 5‑second 480p videos and achieves an 82.78 score on VBench with only about 15 million training videos.

ViRDM is a new post‑training method for few‑step causal video generation that eliminates the need for a large teacher model and an online critic. By applying representation distribution matching (RDM) with a precomputed target distribution, a lightweight VAE decoder, and staged vector–Jacobian products, ViRDM overcomes memory, optimization, and temporal dynamics challenges. The approach reduces GPU memory usage and training time, achieving state‑of‑the‑art VBench performance with only 20 generator updates and 16 A100 GPU‑hours.

We propose OPSD-V, an on-policy self-distillation paradigm for post-training few-step autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models. Existing few-step AR video generators can produce long videos with low latency, but still suffer from error accumulation and weakened motion dynamics during long autoregressive rollout.
LiveVVT introduces a rolling streaming diffusion framework for video virtual try‑on that maintains high visual fidelity while enabling real‑time performance. It preserves bounded bidirectional modeling within a fixed‑size window, emits clean video chunks iteratively, and uses two memory modules—a bounded temporal memory and a persistent global appearance memory—to sustain long‑term consistency. A progressive distillation process further aligns teacher‑based bidirectional learning with causal few‑step inference, resulting in superior generation quality with 26× lower latency and 11× higher throughput compared to comparable models.
LiveVVT introduces a rolling streaming diffusion framework for video virtual try‑on that maintains high visual fidelity while enabling real‑time performance. By confining bidirectional spatio‑temporal modeling to a fixed‑size window and using bounded temporal and global appearance memories, it emits clean video chunks with low latency. A progressive distillation pipeline further refines the model, achieving superior quality with 26× lower latency and 11× higher throughput compared to prior methods.
