OneStreamer Unifies Real-Time Perception, Streaming Memory, and Proactive Response in Video LLMs

Streaming video LLMs must continuously capture temporal evidence before its downstream relevance is known and proactively respond when sufficient evidence arrives. Balancing real-time perception with reusable factual memory has remained a core challenge: revisiting raw visual features explodes memory, while lossy feature pooling destroys critical spatiotemporal context. Researchers from Nanjing University and Shanghai AI Lab introduce OneStreamer (arXiv:2610.01762, ~200 upvotes on Hugging Face). The framework introduces Proactive Hierarchical Caption Memory (PHCM) to generate time-grounded captions and event summaries on the fly, paired with Proactive State Transition Learning (PSTL) to prevent idle waiting frames from overwhelming optimization gradients. Built on the newly released OneStreamer-1M dataset, their 4B model establishes state-of-the-art results across all eight streaming video benchmarks.

OneStreamer Unifies Perception, Memory, and Proactive Response in Streaming Video: 4B Model Sweeps 8 SOTA Benchmarks

Streaming video LLMs must preserve perceptual evidence before downstream intent is revealed and respond proactively when evidence matures. Nanjing University researchers introduce OneStreamer, a unified architecture that couples query-independent factual recording with task execution through a shared proactive generation interface. Its Proactive Hierarchical Caption Memory (PHCM) synthesizes time-anchored micro-captions and event summaries, allowing inference to complement recent visual frames with cached factual records without reprocessing raw historical visual features. Trained on the broad-coverage OneStreamer-1M dataset, the 4B model establishes top SOTA across all eight streaming video understanding benchmarks.
