New HERMES and DSCache methods improve streaming video understanding with KV cache

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
