February 2026 monthly summary for hao-ai-lab/FastVideo: Focused on improving reliability and flexibility of the VSA Triton kernel. Fixed a bug related to padding NaNs and added support for variable sequence lengths by permitting q/kv length mismatches with proper padding. Result: more robust attention computations across varying input sizes, reducing edge-case failures in video processing pipelines, and enabling broader deployment scenarios.

January 2026: Delivered notable improvements to FastVideo focused on performance, correctness, and reliability. Key outcomes include block-sparse attention enhancements with autograd wrapper, a Triton-based map-to-index replacement and vsa benchmarks, and improved build compatibility for variable block sizes; fixed critical issues in TurboDiffusion CUDA normalization with consistent dtype handling and a kernel package version bump; corrected the sequence-parallel sharding loss calculation on the token axis (thw) with padding and added distributed correctness tests; and strengthened the testing framework and CI with longer SSIM timeouts, LongCat video generation tests, and adjusted CI error thresholds. Overall, these changes reduce training instability, improve inference performance, and increase confidence in distributed training correctness, enabling safer deployments and faster feature delivery.
