TLDR
Autoregressive video diffusion supports streaming generation and interactive control, but its KV cache grows continuously with the generated history. Existing compression strategies either discard history using fixed windows or select tokens through local attention and similarity signals, which do not directly measure whether the current chunk contributes information beyond the retained context. We introduce DeCoPrune, a training-free method that treats cache compression as a denoising-consistency problem. We find empirically that denoising difficulty provides a useful proxy for a token's valu
