CORAL-KV: Compact Cross-Layer Prediction and Residual Coding for Autoregressive Video KV Caches

CORAL-KV is a new framework for compressing the key‑value (KV) cache used by autoregressive video diffusion models. It predicts keys and values across cache layers using block‑diagonal‑plus‑low‑rank (block‑DPLR) predictors, then quantizes only the residuals, offering a flexible trade‑off between fidelity and memory usage. In extensive tests on HY‑WorldPlay and MAGI‑1, the reusable configuration outperforms QVG‑4 by up to 4.95 dB PSNR while reducing cache memory by 37–48 %, and the video‑adapted configuration surpasses QVG‑Pro by 3.77 dB PSNR with 33.7 % less memory, all while maintaining comparable latency and reducing temporal discontinuities.

DensityKV: Density-Guided KV Cache Compression for Long Video Generation

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.

GAAC: Lossless KV Compression for Bandwidth-Efficient LLM Inference on Personal Devices

The paper introduces GAAC, a lossless key‑value (KV) compression method for large language model inference on personal devices. GAAC encodes BF16 exponents with per‑channel base‑plus‑offset codes, adapts code widths across small groups, and reconstructs KV tiles on the fly to avoid full‑cache decompression. Experiments show 1.4× compression for BF16 KV, speedups of up to 1.27× in decode attention, and a 26% reduction in resident KV memory while boosting throughput on NVIDIA and Apple hardware.
