Video DeltaNet: A Video-Native Hybrid Attention for Livestream Video Generation

Video DeltaNet (VDN) introduces a hybrid attention mechanism for livestream video generation, combining local Softmax attention with a bidirectional linear memory branch called Video Delta Attention (VDA). VDA updates memory once per frame, integrating spatial tokens, while separate output projections and learnable gates balance the two branches. Applied to MiniMax H3, VDN achieves a 14.5× speedup over the dense baseline, completing 14.3‑second, 768p video denoising in 6.70 seconds on eight NVIDIA B200 GPUs.

Mixture of Distributions Matters: Dynamic Sparse Attention for Efficient Video Diffusion Transformers

arXiv:2601. 11641v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have achieved notable progress in video generation, this long-sequence generation task remains constrained by the quadratic complexity inherent to self-attention mechanisms, creating significant barriers to practical deployment.

Video DeltaNet: A Video-Native Hybrid Attention for Livestream Video Generation

Video DeltaNet (VDN) introduces a hybrid attention mechanism for video diffusion models, combining local Softmax attention with a bidirectional linear memory branch called Video Delta Attention (VDA). The design updates memory once per frame, uses separate output projections and learnable gates to balance the two branches, and employs a staged teacher‑alignment recipe to integrate the new pathway into pretrained models. When applied to MiniMax H3, VDN achieves a 14.5× speedup, completing 14.3‑second, 768p video denoising in 6.70 seconds on eight NVIDIA B200 GPUs compared to the 50‑step dense baseline.

Few Channels Draw The Whole Picture: Revealing Massive Activations in Diffusion Transformers

arXiv:2605. 13974v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) and related flow-based architectures are now among the strongest text-to-image generators, yet the internal mechanisms through which prompts shape image semantics remain poorly understood.
