LingBot-Map: Geometric Context Transformer for Streaming 3D Reconstruction

Streaming 3D reconstruction aims to recover 3D information, such as camera poses and point clouds, from a video stream, which necessitates geometric accuracy, temporal consistency, and computational efficiency. Motivated by the principles of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), we introduce LingBot-Map, a feed-forward 3D foundation model for reconstructing scenes from streaming data, built upon a geometric context transformer (GCT) architecture. A defining aspect of LingBot-Map lies in its carefully designed attention mechanism, which integrates an anchor context, a pose-reference window, and a trajectory memory to address coordinate grounding, dense geometric cues, and long-range drift correction, respectively. This design keeps the streaming state compact while retaining rich geometric context, enabling stable efficient inference at around 20 FPS on 518 x 378 resolution inputs over long sequences exceeding 10,000 frames. Extensive evaluations across a variety of benchmarks demonstrate that our approach achieves superior performance compared to both existing streaming and iterative optimization-based approaches.

DSAQuant: Denoising-Stage-Aligned Quantization-Aware Training for Video Generation

Video diffusion models (VDMs) have achieved impressive progress in text-to-video generation, but their high memory and computational costs hinder practical deployment. Quantization-aware training (QAT) is an effective solution for compressing and accelerating advanced generative models without runtime overhead at inference. However, existing QAT methods suffer from a distinctive challenge in VDMs: while they often preserve prompt semantics, global layout, and coarse motion, the quantized model severely degrades visual details, texture fidelity, and sharpness. In this paper, we trace this degradation to the timestep-agnostic design of conventional quantization pipelines, which overlooks the stage-wise functionality of video denoising. In VDMs, early denoising steps mainly establish global structure and motion, whereas middle and late steps refine local appearance and high-frequency details. Based on this insight, we propose DSAQuant, a Denoising-Stage-Aligned Quantization-aware training framework for VDMs. During training, Denoising-Stage Oriented Supervision preserves teacher distillation in early steps for stable structure planning, while shifting later steps toward target-driven optimization to enhance detail reconstruction. During inference, Denoising-Stage Gated Guidance disables CFG in the final denoising steps to prevent it from amplifying quantization-induced errors into high-frequency artifacts. Extensive experiments on the Wan and CogVideoX families under W4A4 and W3A3 settings show that DSAQuant consistently outperforms the SOTA QAT baseline, improving the VBench average score by up to 6.60 under aggressive W3A3 quantization while preserving strong text-video alignment. These results demonstrate that effective VDM quantization requires not only reducing quantization error, but also aligning quantization training and inference with the stage-wise nature of video diffusion.
