Researchers have developed new methods to improve the efficiency of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for understanding streaming video. One approach, HERMES, conceptualizes the KV cache as a hierarchical memory system, allowing for faster processing and better accuracy with reduced memory usage. Another method, DSCache, decouples past and present KV caches and uses position-agnostic encoding to handle unbounded streams and generalize to longer sequences than models were trained on. AI
