Video DeltaNet: A Video-Native Hybrid Attention for Livestream Video Generation
Video DeltaNet combines softmax and linear attention for video generation, cutting DiT denoising of a 14.3-second 768p video to 6.7 seconds.
Video DeltaNet (VDN) pairs local softmax attention with a bidirectional linear memory branch using Video Delta Attention, which updates memory once per frame while jointly incorporating its spatial tokens. It is instantiated on MiniMax H3, applying the hybrid to video-to-video interactions while retaining softmax attention for text or audio interactions. With eight-step distillation and an optimized SGLang serving stack, VDN-H3 completes denoising of a 14.3-second, 768p video in 6.70 seconds on eight NVIDIA B200 GPUs, a 14.5x speedup over the 50-step dense H3 baseline.
