ViRDM: Taming Representation Distribution Matching for Few-Step Causal Video Generation

ViRDM is a new post‑training method for few‑step causal video generation that eliminates the need for a large teacher model and an online critic. By applying representation distribution matching (RDM) with a precomputed target distribution, a lightweight VAE decoder, and staged vector–Jacobian products, ViRDM overcomes memory, optimization, and temporal dynamics challenges. The approach reduces GPU memory usage and training time, achieving state‑of‑the‑art VBench performance with only 20 generator updates and 16 A100 GPU‑hours.

LiveVVT: High-Fidelity Video Virtual Try-On in Real Time

LiveVVT introduces a rolling streaming diffusion framework for video virtual try‑on that maintains high visual fidelity while enabling real‑time performance. It preserves bounded bidirectional modeling within a fixed‑size window, emits clean video chunks iteratively, and uses two memory modules—a bounded temporal memory and a persistent global appearance memory—to sustain long‑term consistency. A progressive distillation process further aligns teacher‑based bidirectional learning with causal few‑step inference, resulting in superior generation quality with 26× lower latency and 11× higher throughput compared to comparable models.

Relax Forcing: Relaxed KV-Memory for Consistent Long Video Generation

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.
