Nunchux AI Introduces VC-Attention: A Training-Free Low-Bit Attention Kernel That Speeds Up Video Diffusion Transformers

Nunchux AI introduces VC-Attention, a training-free low-bit attention kernel that speeds up video diffusion transformers up to 3.58x.

Nunchux AI unveiled VC-Attention, a training-free attention kernel for video Diffusion Transformers combining V-Smooth (k-means value-token grouping with block-mean residual quantization) and ExpCast-FP8 (single multiply-add softmax exponentiation). Benchmarks on Wan2.2-T2V-A14B, LongCat-Video, HunyuanVideo-1.5, and MiniMax-H3 show 1.59x attention speedup on B200 at 8-bit and 3.58x on RTX 5090 at 4-bit, with end-to-end gains up to 1.70x. It beats SageAttention2 by 2.3 dB PSNR on Wan2.2 at 8-bit and SageAttention3 by up to 3.6 dB at 4-bit. No public kernel release yet; a proprietary extension runs in Nunchux's stack.

Can Skills Learned in Games Transfer to Real-World Work?

Good Start Labs trains models in strategy games like 1830 and Diplomacy, showing terminal-agent training transfers to financial research benchmarks.

Good Start Labs, spun out of Every with $3.6M from General Catalyst and Inovia, trains AI models in verifiable strategy games. A 30B model trained as a multi-turn terminal agent in 1830: The Game of Railroads and Robber Barons improved Finance-Agent benchmark performance, while single-turn QA training did not transfer. The founders also co-authored COS-PLAY, a paper on co-evolving LLM decision and skill-bank agents for long-horizon tasks.
