Pruning method for History-based affine parameters is described. In an exemplary aspect, a method for video processing includes deriving, for a conversion between a current block of video and a bitstream representation of the current block, a first set of affine parameters associated with affine model for the current block; comparing the first set of affine parameters to one or more of sets of affine parameters stored in a buffer for storing affine parameters so as to determine whether the first set of affine parameters is same or similar to at least one set of affine parameters; and deciding whether or how to update the buffer for storing affine parameters based on the determination.
