Allocation Before Ranking: Decoupled Token Compression for OmniLLMs

Token compression in OmniLLMs is typically posed as a single saliency-ranking problem: score each multimodal token, keep the top-K. We argue this abstraction is mis-specified. The same attention score simultaneously decides two things: how much retained capacity each modality receives, and which tokens within a modality are kept. A shared top-K rule therefore inherits this audio-favoring allocation prior, spending retained capacity on audio before video tokens have a chance to compete. We propose Macer, a training-free compressor that first assigns explicit audio and video budgets, then performs allocation-normalized ranking within each modality at modality-specific shallow layers. Macer significantly reduces token cost while preserving accuracy across audio-grounded, audio--video joint, visual-dominant, and video-centric benchmarks. At 25 % retention, Macer preserves 98.7 % of full-token performance on Qwen2.5-Omni-7B and 97.3 % on Qwen2.5-Omni-3B. On Qwen2.5-Omni-7B, this 25 % setting reaches OmniZip-level performance at 45 % retention while using lower FLOPs. On OmniVinci-9B, the same allocation-before-ranking principle improves over shared top-K ranking by up to 12.9 points.

Turbo4DGen: Ultra-Fast Acceleration for 4D Generation

4D generation, or dynamic 3D content generation, integrates spatial, temporal, and view dimensions to model realistic dynamic scenes, playing a foundational role in advancing world models and physical AI. However, maintaining long-chain consistency across both frames and viewpoints through the unique spatio-camera-motion (SCM) attention mechanism introduces substantial computational and memory overhead, often leading to out-of-memory (OOM) failures and prohibitive generation times. To address these challenges, we propose Turbo4DGen, an ultra-fast acceleration framework for diffusion-based multi-view 4D content generation. Turbo4DGen introduces a spatiotemporal cache mechanism that persistently reuses intermediate attention across denoising steps, combined with dynamically semantic-aware attention pruning and an adaptive SCM chain bypass scheduler, to drastically reduce redundant SCM attention computation. Our experimental results show that Turbo4DGen achieves an average 9.7$\times$ speedup without quality degradation on the ObjaverseDy and Consistent4D datasets. To the best of our knowledge, Turbo4DGen is the first dedicated acceleration framework for 4D generation.

Event-VStream: Event-Driven Real-Time Understanding for Long Video Streams

Real-time understanding of long video streams remains challenging for multimodal large language models (VLMs) due to redundant frame processing and rapid forgetting of past context. Existing streaming systems rely on fixed-interval decoding or cache pruning, which either produce repetitive outputs or discard crucial temporal information. We introduce Event-VStream, an event-aware framework that represents continuous video as a sequence of discrete, semantically coherent events. Our system detects meaningful state transitions by integrating motion, semantic, and predictive cues, and triggers language generation only at those boundaries. Each event embedding is consolidated into a persistent memory bank, enabling long-horizon reasoning while maintaining low latency. Across OVOBench-Realtime, and long-form Ego4D evaluations, Event-VStream achieves competitive performance. It improves over a VideoLLM-Online-8B baseline by +10.4 points on OVOBench-Realtime, achieves performance close to Flash-VStream-7B despite using only a general-purpose LLaMA-3-8B text backbone, and maintains around 70% GPT-5 win rate on 2-hour Ego4D streams.

AdaRing: Towards Ultra-Light Vision-Language Adaptation via Cross-Layer Tensor Ring Decomposition

Adapter-based fine-tuning has gained remarkable attention in adapting large pre-trained vision language models (VLMs) for a wide range of downstream tasks efficiently. In this paradigm, only the inserted adapters are fine-tuned, without the need for training the original VLM backbone. Existing works scale adapters by integrating them into every layer of VLMs to increase the capacity of adapters. However, these methods face two primary limitations: 1) limited compression rate due to ignoring cross-layer redundancy, and 2) limited representational capacity across homogeneous adapters. In this paper, we propose a novel vision-language fine-tuning framework based on cross-layer tensor ring decomposition (TRD) with the integration and collaboration of diverse adapters, called AdaRing, achieving ultra-light parameter-efficient adaptation of VLMs on various tasks. To remove the high redundancy that exists among adapters across layers, we exploit the tensor-level low-rankness to formulate adapters as layer-shared tensor cores and layer-specific slices. Moreover, guided by generalization-aware fine-tuning, diverse rank-driven adapters cooperate to handle tasks that require different representations. Our experiments show that the proposed AdaRing achieves the state-of-the-art performance while reducing average training parameters by 90%.

AdaCM$^2$: On Understanding Extremely Long-Term Video with Adaptive Cross-Modality Memory Reduction

The advancements in large language models (LLMs) have propelled the improvement of video understanding tasks by incorporating LLMs with visual models. However, most existing LLM-based models (e.g., VideoLLaMA, VideoChat) are constrained to processing short-duration videos. Recent attempts to understand long-term videos by extracting and compressing visual features into a fixed memory size. Nevertheless, those methods leverage only visual modality to merge video tokens and overlook the correlation between visual and textual queries, leading to difficulties in effectively handling complex question-answering tasks. To address the challenges of long videos and complex prompts, we propose AdaCM$^2$, which, for the first time, introduces an adaptive cross-modality memory reduction approach to video-text alignment in an auto-regressive manner on video streams. Our extensive experiments on various video understanding tasks, such as video captioning, video question answering, and video classification, demonstrate that AdaCM$^2$ achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple datasets while significantly reducing memory usage. Notably, it achieves a 4.5% improvement across multiple tasks in the LVU dataset with a GPU memory consumption reduction of up to 65%.
