CoFiE introduces a two‑stage evidence selection framework for streaming video understanding, separating a coarse, query‑agnostic filtering of visually distinctive frames from a fine, query‑specific refinement during LLM prefill. By filtering out redundant frames before expensive vision encoding, CoFiE reduces end‑to‑end latency while maintaining high accuracy. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on benchmarks such as StreamingBench and OvO‑Bench, improving accuracy by up to 3.15% and inference speed by up to 2.54× compared to prior approaches.
arXiv:2606. 16353v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Streaming video understanding models must answer queries at any moment during an ongoing stream, using only what they have observed so far and under fixed memory and computation budgets.

We introduce Predictive State Retrieval (PSR), a task in which a model observes a short video prefix and a temporal question about an object's future state, then retrieves instances from other videos or images that depict that state. Unlike action anticipation, which predicts a label, moment retrieval, which localizes an observed event within a video, or video generation, which synthesizes pixels, PSR combines anticipation with cross-instance retrieval across multiple temporal horizons.
The paper introduces Watch-Think-Interact (WTI), a closed-loop framework for multi-question streaming video reasoning that maintains compact natural-language memory entries linked to video time ranges. WTI decides whether to answer, continue watching, or recall relevant past intervals for each question, avoiding replay of the full history. The authors build a large dataset, WTI-82K, and a training method, Stream-GDPO, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on StreamingBench and OVO-Bench.
