This work proposes Ms.Forcing, an efficient streaming video generation paradigm that adapts spatial granularity to each state's noise level and introduces Homogeneous-Noise-Level DMD, which assembles each fake video from clean predictions sharing the same source noise level, thereby reducing the mismatch between DMD training sequences and inference-time rollouts.
Abstract
Streaming video diffusion models have made substantial progress toward interactive and dynamic world simulation, but the nested autoregressive and denoising loops of conventional next-frame generation hinder real-time deployment. Recent rolling-window methods pipeline denoising across multiple consecutive frames at different noise levels, improving throughput and long-horizon stability. However, they tokenize every state at the same fine spatial granularity, leaving substantial noise-dependent redundancy in the joint denoising window. We propose Ms.Forcing, an efficient streaming video generation paradigm that adapts spatial granularity to each state's noise level. Its Multi-Scale Patchification (MSP) assigns coarser patches to noisier states, reducing the active-window token count by 45%, while Multi-Scale Self-Attention (MSSA) matches the density of visible non-sink keys and values to each query scale to further reduce attention cost. Because both schedules are fixed by window position, Ms.Forcing retains a static, hardware-friendly computation graph. We further introduce Homogeneous-Noise-Level DMD (H-DMD), which assembles each fake video from clean predictions sharing the same source noise level, thereby reducing the mismatch between DMD training sequences and inference-time rollouts. The multi-scale design helps offset the additional training cost of backpropagating through overlapping windows. We include both quantitative and qualitative experiments to show that Ms.Forcing reaches 22.84 FPS on a single H200 GPU, 39.6% faster than Rolling Forcing, while significantly improving VBench scores in both short video and long video generation setting.
MobileWan becomes the first 5B-scale video diffusion model deployable on a commercial mobile device and proposes a learnable attention head pruning method based on binary per-head gates optimized end-to-end using a noise-biased sparsity objective and distillation-based finetuning.

Streaming autoregressive diffusion makes minute-scale video synthesis practical, but its bounded context and fixed denoising schedule allocate resources uniformly across a highly non-stationary sequence. A rolling key-value cache forgets distant visual evidence even when that evidence remains important, while every generated chunk receives the same number of denoising passes irrespective of its actual difficulty. We introduce Surprise Forcing, a training-free framework that treats both limitations as online resource-allocation problems. A Surprise-Gated Memory Bank summarizes evicted frames with value-token descriptors, evaluates them using complementary global-deviation and nearest-neighbor novelty signals, and regulates admission through a feedback-controlled budget in normalized score space. Priority-based replacement and relevance-aware routing then keep the external memory compact and useful. In parallel, Surprise-Aware Denoising estimates chunk difficulty from the maximum adjacent-frame cosine distance after the first denoising pass and uses a local percentile scheduler to skip intermediate steps for comparatively easy chunks. Experiments on VBench, VBench-Long, and VBench-2.0 show that the proposed allocation strategy improves long-horizon consistency and visual quality while retaining real-time streaming throughput.
Despite the success of diffusion models in Video Frame Interpolation (VFI), existing methods still suffer from two critical limitations. First, latent diffusion inevitably loses fine-grained details when reconstructing images from latent representations back to the pixel space. Second, multi-step sampling incurs prohibitive memory consumption and inference latency. To address these issues, we propose SPEED, a one-step pixel diffusion framework for high-quality VFI. Specifically, SPEED employs a progressive multi-stage architecture with dynamic patch scaling to effectively learn multi-scale motion, structural, and appearance representations. Furthermore, we propose a novel Noise-Update-Only Attention mechanism to prevent semantic degradation of the clean condition frames while reducing the computational overhead by nearly 50%. Besides, we introduce a Drift-aware Timestep Sampling strategy coupled with a tailored training objective to directly predict images in the pixel space, enabling one-step inference without compromising the quality of the generated frames. Extensive experiments show that SPEED achieves state-of-the-art performance. On SNU-FILM, SPEED reduces LPIPS by 8.8% while delivering 63.3% faster inference and 10.6% lower memory usage. On challenging 4K benchmarks, it further surpasses prior methods by up to 51.5% in LPIPS.

InfinityStar extends visual autoregressive generation to video through a sequence of image and clip pyramids. Its changing scale and cross-clip context, however, leave late-scale attention costly and make sparse patterns reused from diffusion or image VAR models unreliable. We introduce SparSTAR, a training-free block-sparse attention method tailored to this setting. At each expensive scale and attention head, SparSTAR scores contiguous key blocks from the current query and key activations, retains required conditioning context, and executes the selected blocks through a forward-only sparse path. We analyze cross-scale consistency within a clip, pattern persistence across clip boundaries, and quality degradation as reuse spans increasingly distant scales. Across these analyses, important key blocks shift, showing that recomputing block selection at each target scale is more reliable than reusing a transferred mask. On 720p text-to-video and image-to-video generation, SparSTAR preserves every token and refinement scale while providing about a 1.6x end-to-end speedup and maintaining VBench and paired-output reconstruction fidelity close to dense InfinityStar.

Diffusion-based Video Virtual Try-On (VVT) achieves high visual fidelity through bidirectional spatio-temporal modeling, but complete-clip dependence incurs prohibitive latency and computational overhead in practical continuous deployment. Naively enforcing causality disrupts pretrained bidirectional priors and substantially degrades synthesis quality. We introduce LiveVVT, a rolling streaming diffusion framework that preserves bounded bidirectional modeling within causal recurrent generation. Within a fixed-size window, LiveVVT jointly denoises multiple video chunks under bounded look-ahead, preserving local bidirectional interactions while emitting one clean chunk per iteration. Beyond the window, two complementary memories sustain long-term consistency: a bounded temporal memory propagates recent dynamics and occlusion context, whereas a persistent global appearance memory, constructed once from the target garment and a frontal try-on keyframe, anchors garment details and dressed appearance throughout the stream. We further introduce a progressive distillation framework integrating bidirectional VVT learning, teacher-trajectory regression for causal few-step adaptation, and Collaborative Matching Distillation, which couples teacher-distribution matching with rolling flow matching on real videos to align optimization with recurrent inference. Experiments on paired and unpaired long-sequence benchmarks demonstrate superior generation quality over similarly sized models, with $26\times$ lower latency and $11\times$ higher throughput, enabling high-fidelity real-time streaming VVT.

HeadCast is proposed, a training-free, plug-and-play acceleration framework built on the observation that a pre-trained AR model's attention heads exhibit stable, heterogeneous behaviors that accelerates inference by up to 1.62x at 720P and 1.95x at 1080P, while keeping VBench quality on par with full attention and largely flicker-free.
