ReferStream: Interactive Subject Injection for Streaming Video Generation

ReferStream is a new framework for interactive subject injection in streaming video generation that does not require additional training. It constructs reference features using the current scene and injects them via a transient cache, then restores the global cache to preserve existing context. The authors also introduce ReferStream Bench, a benchmark with scheduled reference arrivals and evolving instructions, and show that their method outperforms baselines in text adherence, subject similarity, and count accuracy.

Weave Forcing: Compositional Memory Routing for Interactive Long Video Generation

Weave Forcing is a training‑free framework that enhances interactive long video generation by enabling compositional memory routing. It uses an LLM to split user prompts into character and background slots, then applies masked memory weaving with semantic masks to selectively retrieve relevant historical references. The method also introduces coverage‑adaptive RoPE to adjust temporal offsets based on reference coverage, reducing visual artifacts and improving cross‑shot consistency while preserving visual quality and text alignment.

TetherCache: Stabilizing Autoregressive Long-Form Video Generation with Gated Recall and Trusted Alignment

Autoregressive video diffusion models provide a natural formulation for streaming and variable-length video generation by conditioning newly generated frames on previously generated content. However, extending these models to minute-level generation remains challenging: the limited KV-cache budget prevents the model from retaining the full history, while repeatedly conditioning on self-generated frames induces a context distribution shift that accumulates over time, leading to visual artifacts, quality degradation, and temporal drift.

LayerRecall: A State-Conditioned Memory Router for Long-Horizon Consistency in Video Generation

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.

Tether the Subject, Release the Scene: Query-Aware Memory Routing for Long-Horizon Autoregressive Video Generation

The paper introduces TetherMem, a training‑free, query‑aware memory router designed for streaming autoregressive video models that generate long videos in chunks. By separating subject and scene queries and modulating historical access with region‑ and age‑conditioned priors, TetherMem prevents the model from anchoring the scene to stale backgrounds and viewpoints, a problem termed memory‑anchored scene under‑progression. In blinded pairwise evaluations, TetherMem outperforms eight baseline methods in overall quality and scene progression, and on full 30‑second videos it maintains background, viewpoint, and scene changes while preserving subject identity and temporal continuity.

Learning Zero-Shot Subject-Driven Video Generation Using 1% Compute

The paper introduces a zero‑shot subject‑driven video generation framework that eliminates the need for per‑subject tuning and large subject‑video datasets. It achieves this by separating identity injection—learned from subject‑image pairs—and motion‑awareness preservation—maintained with a small set of arbitrary videos, and optimizes both with stochastic switching and dropout techniques. Using CogVideoX‑5B, the method adapts a single model with only 200K subject‑image pairs and 4,000 arbitrary videos in 288 A100 GPU hours, representing roughly 1% of the compute required by previous zero‑shot baselines while preserving subject fidelity and motion quality.

Memorize When Needed: Decoupled Memory Control for Spatially Consistent Long-Horizon Video Generation

The paper introduces a decoupled memory control framework for spatially consistent long‑horizon video generation. By separating memory conditioning from generation, it uses a lightweight memory branch to learn spatial consistency from past observations and a per‑frame cross‑attention mechanism to condition each frame on the most relevant historical data. A camera‑aware gating mechanism further ensures memory is used only when meaningful references exist, resulting in lower training costs, higher spatial consistency, and state‑of‑the‑art visual quality.
