EOS-Story is a training‑free framework that improves visual storytelling by balancing identity consistency with scene‑specific adaptation. It separates narrative prompts into identity and scene sub‑prompts and introduces Cross‑Contextual Bridging to inject appearance cues into the scene embedding. In the vision space, Adaptive Identity Preservation aligns identity features to the scene scale and uses Identity‑Aware Self‑Attention to avoid structural artifacts, achieving competitive results on the extended Consistory+ benchmark.

Short-drama generation has grown into a large, industrialized pipeline, and as it scales from isolated shots to the episode level, visual continuity has become a critical bottleneck. Current agent fra...
Sidecar is a plug‑and‑play semantic augmentation module that preserves entity‑level information from a character’s initial description and injects missing semantics into later prompt embeddings, enabling training‑free character consistency in free‑form visual storytelling. It works with existing diffusion models without architectural changes and incurs negligible computational overhead. Experiments on FreeStoryBench demonstrate consistent improvements in prompt‑image alignment and character consistency across SDXL and FLUX baselines.

ContextAnyone is a context‑aware diffusion framework that treats a reference image as an explicitly preserved appearance anchor rather than a simple conditioning signal. By jointly reconstructing the reference image and generating the target video within a shared diffusion transformer, it provides direct supervision for maintaining identity and fine‑grained appearance throughout denoising. The method introduces asymmetric information flow and Gap‑RoPE positional representations to keep the reference stable while allowing selective access by video tokens, and demonstrates improved identity and appearance consistency on an OpenVid‑HD benchmark.

Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models introduces the VIG‑Sampler, a method that prioritizes tokens for decoding based on their attention to image tokens and penalizes redundancy in image‑attention distributions. The approach aims to improve the quality of multimodal generation by selecting more informative tokens during diffusion decoding. Experiments on seven captioning and VQA benchmarks with three open‑source dMLLMs show that VIG‑Sampler outperforms the Info‑Gain Sampler by an average of 19.3 CIDEr points and achieves better COCO Caption results using only half as many decoding steps.
