ShallowStream Optimizes Video Understanding via Depth-Aware Processing
September 1, 2026
ShallowStream reduces the computational cost of streaming video understanding by indexing shallow features before applying deep MLLM processing. This approach addresses the prohibitive overhead of repeatedly executing full-depth prefill operations on continuous incoming frames.
