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.

R2M-Bench: Evaluating Revisit Memory via Relative Consistency in Interactive Video World Models

R2M-Bench is a benchmark that evaluates revisit memory in interactive video world models by comparing a revisit pair to two control pairs from the same rollout: a gap‑matched non‑revisit pair and a short‑range pair. It introduces MemoryGain (MG) and Normalized Memory Ratio (NMR) to quantify the revisit advantage over generic temporal stability and normalize it by short‑to‑baseline dynamics. Across 300 instances and seven models, NMR correlates with human judgments and reduces the influence of slow‑motion artifacts, with DreamX‑World‑Memo achieving the highest NMR.
