用循环神经网络增强扩散模型的长期记忆，生成超长视频更连贯。

Recent advancements in video generation has shifted from bidirectional models for short videos to autoregressive ones for ultra long video generation. Previous models, which usually use sliding window attention to restrict inference cost, lack effective memory compression and retrieval for long-term generation beyond the window size, leading to issues of forgetting and spatiotemporal inconsistencies. To enhance the retention of historical information with a fixed memory budget, we additionally incorporate temporal recurrent neural network (RNN) layers into the diffusion transformer (DiT) model. Specifically, we found that a LSTM layer after attention at each DiT layer achieves comparable performance to other state-of-the-art RNN blocks, such as Test-Time Training (TTT) and Mamba2. Moreover, existing diffusion-RNN approaches often suffer from performance degradation due to training-inference gap or the lack of overlap across windows. To address these limitations, we propose a novel Recurrent Autoregressive Diffusion (RAD) framework, which leverages recurrent blocks for memory update and retrieval and preserves local details by full attention on overlapping sliding windows, with no training and inference gap. Experiments on Memory Maze and Minecraft datasets demonstrate the superiority for long video generation by our framework with global memory and local attention.
