The paper introduces Hardware‑aware Calibrated Clustered Attention (BC attention) to speed up the global attention layers of the Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT) used for 3D scene reconstruction. By clustering queries within hardware‑friendly neighborhood blocks and adding hashing hyperplane calibration plus threshold‑based error compensation, BC attention reduces computation and memory traffic, enabling it to handle long sequences with practical latency gains on GPUs. Experiments show that calibrated BC attention accelerates global attention by 2.10–2.63× and the entire backbone by 1.77–2.35×, with only a 1% loss in accuracy, and achieves up to 2.87× latency improvement with less than 5% performance drop.

ClusterAttention is a training‑free technique that speeds up bidirectional attention by recursively clustering keys and queries into fixed‑size, power‑of‑two blocks, enabling block‑sparse attention to match dense attention latency on GPUs. The method derives error bounds for sparse attention, showing tighter clusters can reduce error when compensated via centroids, and demonstrates significant speedups—up to six‑fold on large tabular data and 1.8× on video generation—while preserving over 99% of dense accuracy.

Zebra3D introduces a layerwise sparse‑linear hybrid attention framework that enhances the efficiency of pretrained 3D foundation models without requiring training from scratch. By assigning linear‑centered attention to tolerant early stages and tile‑sparse attention to sensitive middle‑to‑late stages, it preserves context through landmark summaries and enables training‑free conversion via closed‑form affine fitting. Across multiple backbones, Zebra3D achieves strong reconstruction and camera‑pose accuracy with high attention sparsity, delivering up to 7.1× speedups at 1,024 views and maintaining performance close to dense counterparts after optional post‑conversion training.

Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT) recovers dense 3D scene structure from multi-view images in one forward pass, but quadratic cross-frame attention limits its scalability. Existing training-free accelerators reduce computation uniformly along one axis, missing layer heterogeneity.

GeoGR introduces a two‑stage framework for efficient 3D vision‑language models. The first stage, GeoSemZip, compresses multi‑view visual tokens into compact 3D voxel representations while preserving important scene information through contextual anchors. The second stage, GroupRoute, dynamically routes tokens through the language model, allowing low‑relevance tokens to skip layers and rejoin later, thereby reducing computation without significant loss of performance.
