FastVideo Synthetic Wan2.2 720P dataset FastVideo Team   Paper Github Project Page Abstract Scaling video diffusion transformers (DiTs) is limited by their quadratic 3D attention, even though most of the attention mass concentrates on a small subset of positions. We turn this observation into VSA, a trainable, hardware efficient sparse attention that replaces full attention at \emph{both} training and inference. In VSA, a lightweight coarse stage pools tokens into tiles and identifies high weight \emph{critical tokens}; a fine stage computes token level attention only inside those tiles subjecting to block computing layout to ensure hard efficiency. This leads to a single differentiable kernel that trains end to end, requires no post hoc profiling, and sustains 85% of FlashAttention3 MFU. We perform a large sweep of ablation studies and scaling law experiments by pretraining DiTs from 60M to 1.4B parameters. VSA reaches a Pareto point that cuts training FLOPS by 2.53$\times$ with no drop in diffusion loss. Retrofitting the open source Wan 2.1 model speeds up attention time by 6$\times$ and lowers end to end generation time from 31s to 18s with comparable quality. These results…
