Rethinking Long-Video Efficiency: A Joint Allocation Perspective on Frames, Pixels, and Front-End Latency

Efficient long-video understanding with vision-language models (VLMs) is often framed as selecting informative frames or visual tokens at a fixed native resolution. We show that per-frame resolution can instead be traded for denser temporal coverage, while front-end decoding latency depends on the size of the candidate...
