Synthesizing consistent and coherent long video remains a fundamental challenge. Existing methods suffer from semantic drift and narrative collapse over long horizons. We present A$^2$RD, an Agentic Auto-Regressive Diffusion architecture that decouples creative synthesis from consistency enforcement. A$^2$RD formulates long video synthesis as a closed-loop process that synthesizes and self-improves video segment-by-segment through a Retrieve--Synthesize--Refine--Update cycle. It comprises three core components: (i) Multimodal Video Memory that tracks video progression across modalities; (ii) Adaptive Segment Generation that switches among generation modes for natural progression and visual consistency; and (iii) Hierarchical Test-Time Self-Improvement that self-improves each segment at frame and video levels to prevent error propagation. We further introduce LVBench-C, a challenging benchmark with non-linear entity and environment transitions to stress-test long-horizon consistency. Across public and LVBench-C benchmarks spanning one- to ten-minute videos, A$^2$RD outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by up to 30% in consistency and 20% in narrative coherence. Human evaluations corroborate these gains while also highlighting notable improvements in motion and transition smoothness.

Despite rapid advances in text-to-video synthesis, generated video quality remains critically dependent on precise user prompts. Existing test-time optimization methods, successful in other domains, struggle with the multi-faceted nature of video. In this work, we introduce VISTA (Video Iterative Self-improvemenT Agent), a novel multi-agent system that autonomously improves video generation through refining prompts in an iterative loop. VISTA first decomposes a user idea into a structured temporal plan. After generation, the best video is identified through a robust pairwise tournament. This winning video is then critiqued by a trio of specialized agents focusing on visual, audio, and contextual fidelity. Finally, a reasoning agent synthesizes this feedback to introspectively rewrite and enhance the prompt for the next generation cycle. Experiments on single- and multi-scene video generation scenarios show that while prior methods yield inconsistent gains, VISTA consistently improves video quality and alignment with user intent, achieving up to 60% pairwise win rate against state-of-the-art baselines. Human evaluators concur, preferring VISTA outputs in 66.4% of comparisons.
