_architecture · 45 upvotes_

**QUESTION** — How can parameter decoupling resolve negative gradient alignment in autoregressive video generation models that handle both denoising and context writing?

The authors identify that sharing parameters for denoising current frames and writing key-value representations as context causes negative gradient alignment in autoregressive video generation. They propose Self Gradient Forcing Plus (SGF+), which assigns separate parameters to these roles while maintaining interaction via causal attention. This improves visual quality and long-horizon consistency without extra video training data. Notably, SGF+ trained on only 5s rollouts supports continuous video generation for up to 24 hours.

### 24. [Agentic RAG Evaluation: Budget Allocation Across Questions, Trajectories, and Reads](https://consonance.fyi/en/lecture/arxiv%3A2610.05034.md)

_evaluation · 17 upvotes_

**QUESTION** — How should evaluation budgets across questions, search trajectories, and repeated reads be allocated for agentic RAG to minimize error?

- At 34.14--34.39M model tokens, broader question coverage lowers standard error by 33% versus five reads and 12.6% versus three trajectories.
