DiTango: Cost-Effective Parallel Diffusion Generation with Selective Attention State Reuse

Recent advances in AI-generated content have driven widespread adoption of Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) for high-resolution, long-duration content generation. While parallelization techniques accelerate diffusion inference, they face significant scalability challenges due to excessive communication overhead in multi-node environments. We observe that sequence partitions in Context Parallelism (CP) exhibit distinct heterogeneity: spatially proximate partitions contribute more significantly to attention computation results. By mapping this heterogeneous pattern to hierarchical communication topology, we can access high-contribution partitions with reduced communication cost. This insight motivates our novel selective attention state mechanism that strategically balances partial attention computation and historical result reuse across denoising steps. We present DiTango, an efficient parallel framework for DiT generation. DiTango features an anchor-guided state selection planner that optimizes computation-reuse decisions for each partition, complemented by a runtime that orchestrates efficient state-centric operations. This design achieves superior system efficiency while preserving generation quality. Experimental evaluation on popular diffusion models demonstrates that DiTango achieves up to 1.9x end-to-end and 3.2x attention speedup with near-linear scaling in multi-node settings, while maintaining generation quality comparable to state-of-the-art approaches.

Wan-Streamer v0.2: Higher Resolution, Same Latency

We present Wan-Streamer v0.2, a latency-preserving upgrade of the native-streaming, end-to-end audio-visual interaction model. v0.2 keeps the v0.1 modeling formulation, but raises the interactive output stream from 192x336 to 640x368 while preserving approximately 200 ms model-side signal-to-signal latency at 25 FPS. The higher-resolution stream supports scene-grounded mid-shot agents whose posture, gaze, hands, nearby objects, and local scene layout remain legible during real-time conversation. To support the larger visual stream without adding user-visible delay, v0.2 keeps the thinker as a single-GPU low-latency path for streaming perception, the short language/state Transformer pass that builds the generation cache, and final decoding. The performer becomes a multi-GPU Ulysses-style context-parallel group for the expensive next-unit latent generation. Each performer rank writes incoming K/V into a pre-sharded local cache. The long high-resolution latent video sequence is split across ranks for denoising and gathered through Ulysses communication, while the much shorter audio latent sequence is generated without sequence sharding. In this split, the thinker's language/state computation reaches the performer only as K/V conditioning, so no separate language sequence has to be communicated inside the performer group. This concentrates additional hardware on visual generation while preserving the compact thinker-performer boundary, keeping total remote interaction latency at approximately 550 ms when a 350 ms bidirectional network budget is included.

Design-CP: Context Parallelism for Design of Protein Nanoparticles

Many all-atom generative protein models can in principle design large multimeric complexes by jointly modelling all chains, but their quadratic token- and atom-pair representations quickly exceed single-GPU memory as the number of chains and residues modelled grows. We introduce Design-CP, two context-parallel (CP) inference strategies for RFdiffusion 3 (1D row-sharding and 2D grid sharding with ring attention) that distribute the quadratic activations across a multi-GPU mesh while preserving pretrained weights. We characterise their scaling when sampling icosahedral assemblies, showing that the maximum feasible asymmetric subunit (ASU) size grows with the expected square-root trend in GPU count and that 2D sharding achieves better wall-clock scaling. Moreover, we show how strong point-group symmetry constraints make CP usable out of the box for end-to-end, all-atom design of icosahedral nanoparticles, yielding favourable in silico structural and interface metrics. Finally, we demonstrate octahedral nanoparticle design on a small cluster of workstation-grade 16GB GPUs, illustrating how Design-CP can be a practical path towards democratising large-assembly protein design.

Mixtures of Subspaces for Bandwidth Efficient Context Parallel Training

Pretraining language models with extended context windows enhances their ability to leverage rich information during generation. Existing methods split input sequences into chunks, broadcast them across multiple devices, and compute attention block by block which incurs significant communication overhead. While feasible in high-speed clusters, these methods are impractical for decentralized training over low-bandwidth connections. We propose a compression method for communication-efficient context parallelism in decentralized settings, achieving a remarkable compression rate of over 95\% with negligible overhead and no loss in convergence. Our key insight is to exploit the intrinsic low-rank structure of activation outputs by dynamically constraining them to learned mixtures of subspaces via efficient reparameterizations. We demonstrate scaling billion-parameter decentralized models to context lengths exceeding 100K tokens on networks as slow as 300Mbps, matching the wall-clock convergence speed of centralized models on 100Gbps interconnects.

FlashCP: Load-Balanced Communication-Efficient Context Parallelism for LLM Training

Context parallelism (CP) is essential for training large-scale, long-context language models, as it partitions sequences to reduce memory overhead. However, existing CP methods suffer from workload imbalance, inefficient kernels, and redundant communication due to static sequence sharding and key-value (KV) tensor communication. We present FlashCP, a load-balanced and communication-efficient framework for CP training. FlashCP introduces a sharding-aware communication mechanism to eliminate redundant KV communication and proposes a novel Whole-Doc sharding strategy that maximizes communication savings while maintaining balanced workloads. To efficiently combine Whole-Doc and Per-Doc sharding, FlashCP further designs a heuristic algorithm to search for near-optimal sharding plans. Extensive experiments show that FlashCP achieves up to 1.63x speedup over state-of-the-art CP frameworks across diverse datasets.
