Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) incur quadratic self-attention cost over spatiotemporal tokens. Existing training-free sparse attention methods often construct sparse masks from block-level or cluster-level proxy scores, which can obscure fine-grained differences among keys and miss high contribution keys under aggressive sparsity.

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.

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.
