SAGA: Stable Acceleration Guidance for Autoregressive Video Generation

Researchers propose SAGA, a training-free stable acceleration guidance method for autoregressive video generation that reduces temporal errors like flickering and motion jitter by using spectral guidance and noise initialization. Experiments show SAGA improves temporal and image quality on existing models without retraining.

arXiv:2607.08020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive video diffusion enables efficient streaming and long-horizon video generation, but repeatedly reusing generated latents as causal context can amplify temporal errors, resulting in flickering, motion jitter, and structural drift. In this paper, we investigate this failure mode from a spectral kinematic perspective and identify discrete latent acceleration as an effective signal for revealing unstable high-frequency temporal perturbations. To this end, we propose SAGA, a training-free \textbf{\textit{s}}table \textbf{\textit{a}}cceleration \textbf{\textit{g}}uidance approach for \textbf{\textit{a}}utoregressive video generation. SAGA integrates an acceleration domain spectral guidance objective based on finite-window Slepian projections with a structured autoregressive noise initialization strategy that suppresses short-range temporal correlations while preserving long-range motion structure. Without retraining or modifying the backbone, SAGA can be directly applied to existing chunk-wise autoregressive diffusion models, which is the prevalent setting for high-quality generation. Extensive experiments show that SAGA consistently improves temporal quality across multiple autoregressive diffusion models. On Self-Forcing, SAGA improves Temporal Quality from 97.30 to 97.91 and Image Quality from 69.60 to 70.51. Moreover, spectral analysis and human preference studies demonstrate that SAGA reduces temporal instability while maintaining visual fidelity.
