Kandinsky 6.0 Video generates synchronized 5-second videos with 44 kHz audio using dual-stream diffusion models
Kandinsky 6.0 Video introduces two diffusion models (3B and 29B parameters) that generate 5-second Full-HD videos with synchronized high-quality audio and lip-sync from text or images, using a dual-stream CrossDiT architecture and multi-stage training including reinforcement learning and distillation.

ALoDLM improves diffusion language models with token-adaptive recurrent refinement
ALoDLM introduces token-adaptive latent recurrence within diffusion language models, allowing tokens to commit at different depths based on prediction difficulty. Trained at 1.7B and 8B scales, it outperforms prior diffusion and autoregressive models across 11 benchmarks while maintaining fast parallel decoding.

In-Distribution Forcing stabilizes long video generation by controlling KV cache provenance
Drifting in long autoregressive video diffusion arises from out-of-distribution KV cache entries due to unseen provenance during rollout. In-Distribution Forcing aligns KV caching and conditioning with training, enabling stable minute-scale video generation and reducing drift.
