DensityKV is a training‑free strategy for managing the historical key‑value (KV) cache in autoregressive video diffusion models. It creates a separate token‑level KV bank for each attention head and uses Soft‑Riesz density to measure and limit local redundancy among post‑RoPE keys, thereby preventing the KV archive from growing indefinitely. Experiments on three video generation backbones demonstrate that, with the same KV capacity limit, DensityKV improves long‑horizon consistency and generation stability while keeping persistent storage bounded regardless of rollout length.

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.
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 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.

The paper introduces Relax Forcing, a training‑free memory mechanism for autoregressive video diffusion that structures temporal context into Sink, Tail, and History frames. By selecting History frames with a relaxation criterion, the method reduces error accumulation and attention overhead while preserving motion dynamics. Experiments on VBench‑Long demonstrate that this structured memory improves long‑video generation quality over existing baselines.
arXiv:2607. 20125v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models have become a promising paradigm for long and streaming video synthesis, but the continuously growing Key-Value (KV) cache makes attention the dominant inference cost, especially at high resolution where each frame contributes many tokens.
