OmniDelta: Skill-Driven Budget Allocation for Token Compression in OmniLLMs· OmniDelta:基于技能的Token压缩预算分配
Emerging Omni-modal Large Language Models (OmniLLMs) enable unified understanding of text, audio, and video, but their long audio-video token sequences introduce substantial memory and inference costs. Existing compression methods mainly focus on selecting important tokens under fixed budgets, leaving the preceding budget-allocation problem underexplored. We show that direct query-to-audio/video similarity is unreliable for inter-modal budget allocation, and that uniform intra-modal budgets can miss key evidence while retaining redundant content. To address these limitations, we propose OmniDelta, a training-free, skill-driven framework that couples intent-aware inter-modal allocation with content-aware intra-modal allocation. OmniDelta first constructs audio and video skill pools to shift
