Mi-Memory: A Lifecycle Memory Framework for Personal AI

Xule Liu, Hanlin Teng, Chao Li, Yanan Ni, Shuo Lu, Audrey Wang, et al.

Personal AI is moving beyond chat-only interaction toward continuous services that span phones, cars, homes, wearables, cameras, and tools. In this setting, memory cannot remain a cache of prior conversations. It should serve as a continuity and governance substrate: preserving d…

Efficient Difficulty-Aware Dynamic Routing for Diffusion-Based Real-World Image Super-Resolution

Xue Wu, Kang Zhao, Kafeng Wang, Jianfei Chen, Jingwei Xin, Nannan Wang, et al.

Diffusion-based methods have achieved impressive performance in real-world image super-resolution (Real-ISR) by leveraging large pre-trained stable diffusion (SD) models as powerful generative priors. However, these methods still face two key limitations. First, existing SD-based…

IB-Flow: Information Bottleneck-Guided CFG Distillation for Few-Step Text-to-Image Generation

Yiting Wang, Jingyi Zhang, Wenhu Zhang, Ke Chao, Yves Liang, Kun Cheng, et al.

While large-scale text-to-image generative models have achieved unprecedented visual performance, their inherent reliance on multi-step iterative solvers incurs severe inference latency. Few-step distillation targeting the Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) trajectory has emerged as…

Rethinking Depth Pruning for Vision Transformers: A Heterogeneity-Aware Perspective

Zhenfeng Su, Kang Zhao, Han Bao, Tao Yuan, Zhongzhe Hu, Xianzhi Yu, et al.

While prior studies have successfully compressed vision Transformers (ViTs) through various pruning techniques, most have concentrated on width pruning to achieve significant reductions in model size. Depth pruning, which removes entire layers from a ViT, is notoriously difficult…
