VMoBA: Mixture-of-Block Attention for Video Diffusion Models

This paper tackles one of the core bottlenecks in Video Diffusion Models (VDMs), the quadratic complexity of full attention that slows down training and inference, especially for long-duration, high-resolution videos.

👉 The proposed solution, VMoBA (Video Mixture of Block Attention), introduces a smart sparse attention mechanism that:
✅ Adapts to spatio-temporal patterns
✅ Selects important blocks globally
✅ Dynamically reduces attention complexity

💡 The results?
✔️ ~3x FLOPs speedup in training
✔️ ~1.5x faster inference latency
✔️ Maintains or even improves video generation quality

Super exciting direction for scaling up video generation efficiently!
