What papers say

Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites LiveVLM as a baseline.

it uses a fixed compression ratio throughout the video and relies on first-in-first-out (FIFO) strategy to maintain a constrained memory, which leads to forgetting of earlier information in long videos, even though they might be informative.
