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.

DeltaS is a query‑agnostic, training‑free method for evicting key‑value cache entries in hybrid video‑language models that combine linear and full attention. It uses the change in the recurrent state of gated‑delta linear attention—called state drift—to decide which video chunks to keep, selecting those that induce larger normalized state changes. In experiments with a fixed memory budget, DeltaS outperforms position‑, attention‑, and key‑value‑based eviction signals, improving performance by 2.1 points on average across six long‑video benchmarks and 5.6 points on the longest benchmark, while adding only 1.9% of the forward‑pass cost.

RECAP-Forcing is a new method for long autoregressive video generation that addresses the memory challenge by organizing memory based on appearance novelty rather than recency. The approach retains key-value caches for newly appearing content—such as entering subjects, disoccluded regions, and new scenes—at the moment they first appear, ensuring consistent identities over time. It combines an attention sink for the initial scene with an optical-flow-based novelty bank for later frames, improving visual quality and semantic fidelity without adding learnable parameters.
