## Abstract (arXiv)

Can autoregressive video diffusion be accelerated further when only four denoising steps remain? Existing feature caching approaches struggle in this regime, as large feature changes between denoising timesteps undermine both direct reuse and lightweight predictors. We observe that features across video chunks remain strongly correlated at matching denoising timesteps, offering a complementary source of guidance. Building on this insight, we introduce TGuide, a framework that accelerates autoregressive video diffusion through a lightweight Anchor-Transport-Correct (ATC) predictor guided by historical sampling trajectories. Our ATC combines two complementary references: the current chunk's preceding-step features preserve its spatial structure, while the previous chunk's same-timestep features provide information at the target denoising stage. By integrating these references through spatial retrieval and adaptive correction, ATC improves velocity prediction accuracy despite the large gaps between denoising steps. To mitigate error accumulation across both denoising steps and video chunks, we train the predictor on its own autoregressive rollouts, allowing it to adapt to states shaped by its own earlier predictions. An optional confidence-aware scheduler further adjusts the quality-efficiency trade-off. Experiments on Self Forcing, Causal Forcing, and HY-WorldPlay show that TGuide preserves generation quality while achieving denoising speedups of up to 1.89× over the original 4-step generators. On Self Forcing, TGuide generalizes from 81-frame training videos to 333-frame generation, approximately four times the training length, while exceeding the original model's VBench score.
