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.

Token-Budget Distillation: Transferring Full-Token Semantics to Compressed Video Vision-Language Models

Token-Budget Distillation (TBD) is a parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning framework that adapts video vision‑language models to a fixed token budget. It freezes the pretrained backbone, updates only LoRA adapters, and incorporates FlashVID visual token compression. TBD uses a dual‑path teacher‑student design with full‑token supervision and compressed student optimization, enabling the student to recover full‑token semantics while remaining efficient under aggressive token reduction.
