EcoVideo: Entropy-Orchestrated Video Generation Paradigm in Cloud-Edge Dynamics

Jiayu Chen, Hengyi Zhang, Maoliang Li, Minyu Li, Zihao Zheng, Xuanzhe Liu, Guojie Luo, Xiang Chen

DiT video generation is latency-intensive due to iterative full-frame denoising, while prior cloud-edge methods largely rely on static inter-step decoupling and cannot leverage inter-frame similarity or adapt to system dynamics. We propose EcoVideo, an entropy-orchestrated framework for dynamic inter-frame decoupling: early-stage self-attention entropy provides a training-free estimate of frame-wise information density for frame selection; a cloud large model denoises sparse high-entropy keyframes; and an edge lightweight model reconstructs the remaining frames via motion-aware interpolation with refinement for temporal stability. EcoVideo further adapts the keyframe budget and edge refinement depth to real-time bandwidth and compute availability, optimizing end-to-end latency under constraints. Experiments on representative DiT video generators show improved quality--efficiency trade-offs and up to 2.9x end-to-end speedup in low-bandwidth, compute-limited edge settings. Code is available at https://github.com/IF-LAB-PKU/EcoVideo.

Vision Token Manipulation Attacks on Cloud-Edge Inference of Large Vision-Language Models

Zikai Zhang, Rui Hu, Olivera Kotevska, Jiahao Xu

Cloud-edge Large Vision-Language Model (LVLM) inference enables efficient deployment by splitting computation between edge devices and cloud servers. In this process, intermediate vision tokens are transmitted from the edge to the cloud over a communication link, thereby exposing…

World Narrative Model for Highly Controllable Video Generation: A Paradigm Shift from Pixel Sampling to Physical World Orchestration

Ye Chen, Xuanhong Chen, Yupeng Zhu, Liming Tan, Zhewen Wan, Yuxuan Xiong, et al.

The fundamental obstacle to industrial grade video generation is the lack of controllability: existing models treat video as a pixel distribution sampling problem, bypassing the explicit, instance level $4D$ $(3D + T)$ physical world. Consequently, content creators cannot specify…

ProxyUp: Training-Free Proxy-Conditioned Video Generation for Controllable Dynamics

Zanwei Zhou, Jiazhong Cen, Jiemin Fang, Yumeng He, Chen Yang, Sikuang Li, et al.

Precise control over complex dynamics remains challenging for modern video generative models, as text prompts alone often cannot specify physically plausible, fine-grained motion and interactions. We introduce $\textit{proxy-conditioned video generation}$, where a coarse proxy vi…

Thinking in Video: Can Video Generators Really Reason About the Real World?

Yongheng Zhang, Guang Yang, Ruihan Hou, Qiguang Chen, Ziang Liu, Xiaolong Liu, et al.

Recent advances in world models and video generation have given rise to an emerging reasoning paradigm that leverages video generative models to simulate, predict, and reason about real-world dynamics. We redefine this paradigm as Thinking in Video, where video is not merely an o…
