BIFE: Better Interaction, Fewer Errors for Minute-Long Video Generation

Long video generation is a critical step toward building realistic world models, requiring both high visual fidelity and long-range interaction consistency. Recent autoregressive diffusion models enable long-horizon generation through KV cache reuse, yet suffer from two fundamental challenges: failure to preserve long-range interactions due to sliding-window KV cache and error accumulation that progressively degrades generation quality over time. To address these issues, we propose BIFE, a framework that introduces a semantic sparse KV cache for retrieval-based long-range conditioning and a Block Forcing training strategy to enforce cross-block consistency. Together, these designs preserve historical interactions while mitigating drift, enabling stable and coherent minute-long video generation. We also introduce InterVBench, a minute-long video benchmark with fine-grained block-level annotations and Video Drift Error metrics. Extensive experiments on InterVBench and VBench-Long demonstrate that BIFE achieves state-of-the-art performance, including a 22.2% improvement on VDE-Subject and a 19.4% improvement on VDE-Clarity over baselines.
