Adds Sol-Attn (arXiv:2607.24027) as a third sparse-attention algorithm for VisualGen, alongside `skip_softmax` and VSA. It folds dynamic block routing, sparse computation, and an approximation-correction term into a single online-softmax pass. Config surface: `SolAttnAttentionConfig` in `visual_gen/args.py` / `sparse_attention.py` -- `tau` (routing threshold), `thresh_type` (`diag`/`exact`), `kv_splits`, `disabled_until_timestep` (dense-prefix cutoff), and `dense_layers` (comma/range layer-skip spec). Dispatch goes through `create_attention` the same way `skip_softmax` and `vsa` do. Cross-attention (`SEPARATE_QKV`) falls back to VANILLA, and context-parallel (`cp_size > 1`) and quantized attention are both rejected, mirroring VSA's existing guards. Dense prefix ------------ `disabled_until_timestep` follows skip-softmax's field of the same name and the same sense: the layer runs dense while the normalized denoising timestep is at or above the cutoff, and switches to the sparse kernel below it. The value arrives as a forward kwarg, which `modules/attention.py` already threads to every backend and every VisualGen pipeline normalizes by `num_train_timesteps`, so no per-pipeline wiring is needed and there is no process-wide state. `models/wan/pipeline_wan.py` is untouched. Because the prefix swaps kernels without changing tensor shapes, the two phases must not share a captured CUDA graph; `register_cuda_graph_extra_key_fns` registers `sol_attn_phase` from the same `kwargs["timestep"]` source as `skip_softmax_phase`. `dense_layers` needs no key, being fixed per layer at construction. Kernel scope ------------ The kernel is vendored from its reference implementation (see `cute_dsl_kernels/blackwell/sol_attn/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` for the upstream pin and its currency check). Only the two architectures with hardware evidence are carried: sm100 (B200/GB200) and sm120 (RTX Blackwell). Upstream's sm89 and sm90 kernels and its Triton reference path are not included; sm90 covers H100/H200/GH200 and should return in a follow-up with measurements behind it rather than ship unvalidated. Every vendored file carries an SPDX Apache-2.0 header naming its NVlabs/Sana origin; the two files that derive from FlashAttention additionally cite BSD-3-Clause and point at `sm100/LICENSE.flash-attention`, and the cuDNN Frontend license the SM120 kernel adapts is vendored at `sm120/LICENSE.cudnn-frontend` at the commit the notices cite. Upstream also vendors a copy of FlashAttention's CuTe DSL helpers. That copy is not carried: TensorRT-LLM already depends on flash-attn-4, which provides the same `flash_attn.cute` modules, verified on B200 to give bit-identical output. `preprocess.py` implements the routing/threshold stage in Triton, so Triton is a required runtime dependency on every Sol-Attn path. Failure behaviour ----------------- Inputs the kernel cannot serve -- unsupported architecture, `head_dim` other than 128, non-bf16 dtype, or mismatched k/v -- fall back to dense SDPA with a `warning_once` naming the specific reason, and increment `dense_fallback_calls` alongside `kernel_calls`. Kernel exceptions take the same path. `SOL_ATTN_STRICT=1` raises instead, for both arms. Without this the feature degrades to a silent no-op for a whole run and surfaces only as absent speedup. Docs ---- `docs/source/visual-gen/features/sparse-attention.md` gains a `sol_attn` row and a section covering the YAML surface, the sm100/sm120 + head_dim=128 + bf16 + MHA constraints, the cutoff semantics, and the fallback/`SOL_ATTN_STRICT` behaviour. Its claim that VSA is the only CUTEDSL algorithm mutually exclusive with quantized attention is corrected, since Sol-Attn now is too. Tests ----- New `tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_attention_cute_dsl_sol_attn.py`, registered in `l0_b200.yml` (sm100) and `l0_gb202.yml` (sm120): backend-factory dispatch, cross-attention VANILLA fallback, context-parallel and quantized-attention rejection, GQA/MQA rejection, the `dense_layers` guard, dense-prefix phase semantics at and either side of the cutoff (including tensor-valued timesteps), fail-open on a missing timestep, both CUDA-graph key cases, kernel-eligibility reasons, `SOL_ATTN_STRICT` on the eligibility path, dense-fallback numerics and counters, arch-list drift between `SUPPORTED_ARCHS` and `_CUTE_BACKENDS`, and `kv_splits` rejection. 32 tests plus one documented skip for GPU kernel-vs-dense equivalence at full routing. Validation ---------- * B200 (sm100): 31/31 pass, and 68 passed alongside `test_attention_cute_dsl.py`, which NVIDIA#17781 extended. Kernel output bit-identical across a 12-point (shape, tau) sweep; `kernel_calls=12`, `dense_fallback_calls=0` under `SOL_ATTN_STRICT=1`. Denoise time on B200, 50 steps, mean of 2 reps after 1 warmup, against a dense CuTeDSL baseline: Wan2.2-TI2V-5B 1.127x without CUDA graphs and 1.200x with them; Wan2.2-T2V-A14B 1.451x without and 1.406x with. Enabling graphs helps the 5B and slightly hurts A14B; the cause is not established, so the best A14B configuration remains graphs-off. Run-to-run spread was under 0.06% throughout. * RTX 5090 (sm120): resolves to `cute_sm120`; 9/9 sweep points ran with no dense fallback. End-to-end generation was not possible on that GPU because 32 GB is insufficient for the models used here, so sm120 has kernel-level evidence only.

`_run_sol_attn_bthd` was missing `@torch.compiler.disable`, so under torch.compile Dynamo traced *into* the CuTe DSL JIT builder -- symbolically evaluating MLIR op construction (`OpView.__new__`) and driver handles (`CUstream.__new__`) -- and retraced on every call. Every sibling CuTe DSL launch boundary already carries the decorator (`cute_dsl/fmha.py`, `cute_dsl/vsa.py`, `video_sparse_attention/interface.py`); Sol-Attn was the only one without it. The failure was silent: no error, just a run that looked like torch.compile not paying off. A second, independent graph break came from the dense-prefix decision, which reads a scalar out of the timestep tensor. A bare `.item()` under Dynamo breaks the enclosing transformer block once per attention layer, so the extraction moves into a `@torch.compiler.disable`d `_dense_by_step` helper, mirroring `cute_dsl/fmha.py`'s delayed scalar extraction and VSA's `_get_vsa_inputs`. It returns a host-side bool, so the dense and sparse phases still compile as separate graphs -- they run different kernels. Behaviour is unchanged, including the fail-open path when no timestep arrives. Measured on B200 (WAN2.2-TI2V-5B, 704x1280, 121 frames, 50 steps, seed 42): | Configuration | denoise | S vs eager dense | |------------------------------|---------|------------------| | dense, eager | 66.90 s | 1.000x | | Sol-Attn, eager | 59.38 s | 1.127x | | Sol-Attn, CUDA graphs | 56.29 s | 1.188x | | dense + torch.compile | 45.92 s | 1.457x | | Sol-Attn + torch.compile | 36.21 s | 1.847x | Against the compiled dense baseline -- the comparison that matters, since torch.compile needs none of this feature -- Sol-Attn gives S = 1.268x and a 21.15% time reduction, at LPIPS 0.0268 versus that same baseline. Before this fix the same configuration measured 2496.9 s mean denoise, a 69x difference. Repetitions agree to 0.03 s, and the run logs no dense fallback; a fallback could not be 21% faster than the dense path it falls back to. Two tests assert both boundaries stay Dynamo-opaque. A missing decorator is how this arose and it fails silently, so the convention needs a test rather than only a comment.

`sol_attn_backend.py` is adapted from upstream's `techniques/sparse_backends/sol_attn_backend.py`, but THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md scoped the vendoring to the `sol_attn/` package only. Upstream's version of this file lives outside that package, so the notices' statement of what is carried was inaccurate, and the file that carries our `@torch.compiler.disable` sat outside the currency check the notices tell maintainers to run. Records the derivation, which subset is carried (the kernel wrapper: shape guard, dense fallback, counters -- not upstream's diffusers/HunyuanVideo/Morton model-integration half), and the deliberate divergences a re-sync must preserve rather than overwrite. Also notes that upstream guards the same call with a `torch.library.custom_op` plus `register_fake`, which keeps the kernel in the compiled graph instead of breaking the graph at it, and is arguably better than the `@torch.compiler.disable` used here. That form was not adopted because `torch.compiler.disable` is what every other CuTe DSL entry point in this repository uses and what this PR's measurements were taken with; migrating is a reasonable follow-up. Both projects are Apache-2.0, so this is an attribution-accuracy fix, not a licensing one. Documentation and one docstring only; no behaviour change.

sm120 (RTX Blackwell) had kernel-level evidence only -- 9/9 sweep points
resolving to `cute_sm120` -- and was never validated end to end, because the
only available sm120 hardware was a 32 GB RTX 5090 that cannot hold
Wan2.2-TI2V-5B (OOM at 27.2 GiB during model load). Shipping only what is
measured end to end is the same reasoning already applied to sm89 and sm90.
It also removes a structural problem. `cute_dsl_fmha_fwd`, the dense CuTe DSL
kernel the CUTEDSL backend uses, supports sm_100a/sm_103a and not sm120, while
Sol-Attn's dense paths -- the `dense_layers` guard, the
`disabled_until_timestep` prefix, and every ineligibility fallback -- call
`torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention`. On sm120 those paths could
never have matched the backend the user selected. With sm100 alone, Sol-Attn's
architecture set is a subset of the dense FMHA kernel's, so routing the dense
paths back onto `cute_dsl_fmha_fwd` becomes possible everywhere Sol-Attn runs.
That follow-up is not in this change; this only narrows the scope that makes it
achievable.
Removes the vendored `sol_attn/sm120/` tree (4 files, including the
cuDNN-frontend license that covered its execution skeleton), the
`_compile_sm120` entry point and its dispatch branch, the `(12, 0)` entries in
`SUPPORTED_ARCHS` and `_CUTE_BACKENDS`, and the `l0_gb202.yml` registration.
Deleting the dispatch branch left `if arch == (10, 0):` with no `else`, whose
fall-through would have returned the uninitialised output buffer -- silently
wrong results. `_backend_for_arch` raises before that point so it was
unreachable, but the check is now an explicit `raise` rather than resting on a
guard three frames away.
Also records the divergences from upstream in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and the
PR description, including that `sol_attn_backend.py` is itself adapted from
upstream's file of the same name outside the vendored package, and that
upstream guards the `torch.compile` path with `torch.library.custom_op` where
this port uses `@torch.compiler.disable`.
Validated on B200 (sm100): 34 passed, 1 skipped, including the arch-drift test
that now confirms SUPPORTED_ARCHS == _CUTE_BACKENDS == {(10, 0)}.
`pre-commit run` clean across the changed files.

…gured backend Enabling `sol_attn` silently swapped the attention kernel in two places that have nothing to do with sparsity, so an A/B against a `backend: CUTEDSL` dense baseline was measuring a backend difference, not the algorithm. Self-attention: the `dense_layers` guard, the `disabled_until_timestep` prefix and every kernel-ineligibility fallback called `torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention`, while the baseline ran `cute_dsl_fmha_fwd`. The prefix alone covers ~24 % of the work at the certified operating point, so this was not a rare edge case. All three paths now route through `CuTeDSLAttention`, using upstream's existing `dense_fn` hook for the third. SDPA is retained only where the CuTe kernel cannot serve the device, and says so once. Cross-attention: `modules/attention.py` routes `SEPARATE_QKV` to VANILLA when the sparse algorithm is vsa/sol_attn, but plain `CUTEDSL` does not match that condition and keeps CuTeDSL. WAN's `attn2` is `SEPARATE_QKV` in every block, so merely enabling the feature moved cross-attention to torch SDPA everywhere, regardless of `tau`, `disabled_until_timestep`, or whether the sparse kernel ever ran. Sol-Attn now falls back within its own backend family; `create_attention` re-selects the sparse class from `attention_config`, so the cross-attention module is built with `sparse_attention_config=None`. TRTLLM keeps VANILLA, since `TrtllmAttention` genuinely cannot serve `SEPARATE_QKV`. Verification. With sparsity disabled entirely (`disabled_until_timestep=0.0001`, so the sparse kernel never fires) Sol-Attn is now **byte-identical** to a plain `backend: CUTEDSL` run: LPIPS 0.0000, against 0.1279 before. That is an exact result, not an approximate one -- a repeated identical config also scores 0.0000, so the pipeline is bit-deterministic on this workload and any nonzero value is signal. At the certified operating point (`tau=2.0`, `disabled_until_timestep=0.9090`) on Wan2.2-T2V-A14B, 720x1280x81f, 50 steps, B200, p01, against the now-valid baseline: | | denoise | S | delta | LPIPS | previously | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | eager | 427.54 s | 1.373x | 27.2 % | 0.1936 | 0.2477 | | torch.compile | 364.11 s | 1.418x | 29.5 % | 0.2337 | 0.4159 | Both inside the 0.25 gate. The compiled figure moved from 166 % of gate to 93 %: the apparent collapse of quality under `torch.compile` was entirely the reference mismatch, amplified because `cute_dsl_fmha_fwd` is `@torch.compiler.disable`'d and bit-identical either way while the SDPA path is not. VSA has the identical cross-attention defect. It is deliberately not changed here, since that alters a separate feature; tracked as TRTLLM-16105. Tests: 84 passed, 1 skipped across the Sol-Attn, VSA and dense CuTeDSL suites. `pre-commit run` clean on the changed files.

…ention Cold review found that routing Sol-Attn's `SEPARATE_QKV` fallback to CUTEDSL also caught *self*-attention that merely uses that qkv mode, which is a regression rather than a fix. `QwenImageAttention` is `SEPARATE_QKV` with `separate_qkv_is_self_attention=True` (`models/qwen_image/transformer_qwen_image.py`). Redirecting it flipped `attn_backend` from VANILLA to CUTEDSL, and `_supports_qwen_key_padding_mask` tests for the literal string "VANILLA", so with `ulysses_size > 1` the model raised `NotImplementedError` on a configuration that worked before. WAN's `attn1` is likewise `SEPARATE_QKV` under async Ulysses. The fallback is now gated on `not separate_qkv_is_self_attention`, so only genuine cross-attention moves in-family and those paths keep VANILLA. Adds `test_dense_paths_use_cutedsl_backend`, a CUDA test asserting that all three dense paths -- the `dense_layers` guard, the `disabled_until_timestep` prefix, and the `dense_fn` ineligibility fallback -- reach the configured backend's dense kernel. The existing dense tests build CPU tensors, so `_dense` takes its SDPA branch by construction and cannot observe this; the two are renamed so they no longer read as asserting the old behaviour. Reverts `l0_gb202.yml` to base: dropping sm120 left a "Visual Gen tests" header with no test under it, mislabelling unrelated BERT and Qwen3 entries. Corrects stale "dense SDPA" wording in the module and config docstrings, the two runtime fallback messages, and the user-facing sparse-attention doc, all of which became false when the dense paths moved in-family. That doc's example cutoff also moves to the validated 0.9090. Records the dense-path routing in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, which claimed to list every deliberate divergence and omitted this one -- exactly what a re-sync would overwrite. Softens the `torch.compile` latency citation from a flat "69x (2496.9 s vs 36.2 s)" to "near two orders of magnitude (2496.9 s without it)". The 2496.9 s is archived; the post-fix figure was measured while another job shared the GPU and its result file was later overwritten, so the precise ratio is not reproducible from artifacts. Verification. The byte-identity control now runs in the mode the PR reports: `disabled_until_timestep=0.0001` with `torch.compile` enabled at 40 steps scores LPIPS 0.0000 against the same dense anchor as the headline numbers (denoise 414.24 s vs 414.36 s). Previously that control had only been run eager at 50 steps, while every reported number was compiled at 40 -- and at an earlier fix stage compile tripled the residual, so the extrapolation was unsafe. Tests: 85 passed, 1 skipped across the Sol-Attn, VSA and dense CuTeDSL suites. `pre-commit run` clean on the changed files.

`SolAttnAttention` stutters: the algorithm is already named "Sol-Attn", so the class read as Attn-Attention. Upstream has no equivalent name to preserve -- it exposes dispatch functions and a `_SolContext` dataclass, not an attention backend class, so this follows only this repository's own `<Name>Attention(AttentionBackend)` convention alongside `CuTeDSLAttention`, `VSAAttention`, `TrtllmAttention` and `VanillaAttention`. `SolAttnAttentionConfig` renames to `SolAttentionConfig` for the same reason and to match `SkipSoftmaxAttentionConfig` / `VideoSparseAttentionConfig`. Neither name has shipped, so this costs no compatibility. Mechanical: 43 references across 11 files, no behaviour change. One incidental reformat -- the shorter name lets an import in `models/modeling.py` fit on one line. Tests: 85 passed, 1 skipped across the Sol-Attn, VSA and dense CuTeDSL suites.

…r module Sol-Attn is a policy over a dense backend, not a peer of one. It answers "should the sparse kernel run for *this* call", and delegates everything else to the dense CuTe DSL backend it wraps. This commit makes the code say that. `SolAttention` gains `_can_serve` -- cross-attention, the `dense_layers` guard, and the `disabled_until_timestep` prefix all become one predicate -- and `_delegate`, the single exit to the inner backend. `forward` reduces to "serve it, or hand it over", and the `dense_fn` ineligibility hook routes to the same place, so all four dense paths now leave through one function. Removes Sol-Attn from the `SEPARATE_QKV` rule in `modules/attention.py`, and with it the `model_copy(sparse_attention_config=None)` special case at the `create_attention` call. That rule had to infer cross-attention from `qkv_mode`, which describes how Q/K/V are *projected*, not whether K/V come from another sequence. The inference is wrong wherever SEPARATE_QKV is chosen for other reasons -- Qwen-Image always, WAN's `attn1` under async Ulysses -- and each wrong guess silently cost that module its configured backend. The predicate compares `k.shape[1]` against `q.shape[1]` instead, which is the thing actually being asked. VSA keeps the old rule; it has the same defect, tracked separately as TRTLLM-16105. Behaviour preservation. Wan2.2-T2V-A14B, 720x1280x81f, 40 steps, B200, seed 42, `torch.compile` on, at the operating point this PR reports: the output tensor digest is `d43f9af3...` before and after, bit-identical. That value reproduces across five executions in four processes -- committed HEAD, both refactor variants, and two repetitions of the prior measurement. Denoise 290.34 s vs 290.45 s (0.04 %, within run-to-run spread). Tests: 86 passed, 1 skipped across the Sol-Attn, VSA and dense CuTeDSL suites. Adds `test_sol_attn_self_attention_is_served_under_separate_qkv`, which pins the async-Ulysses case the old rule got wrong, and reworks the cross-attention test to assert that `SolAttention` remains the backend and delegates, rather than being replaced at construction. `pre-commit run` clean on the changed files.

Seven findings from automated review of b25ca70, each verified against the source before being applied. Correctness: - The MHA invariant was an `assert`, which `python -O` strips. GQA/MQA would then reach the kernel wrapper, which sees unequal Q/K shapes and takes its dense fallback -- degrading silently instead of rejecting an unsupported configuration. Now a `ValueError`; the test asserts the new type. - `SolAttentionConfig.dense_layers` accepted malformed specs. A non-numeric token raised from `_parse_dense_layers` during attention construction, far from the config that caused it; worse, a descending range such as `4-2` raised nothing at all -- `range(4, 3)` is empty, so the layers the user asked to force dense quietly stayed sparse. A `field_validator` now rejects both at config time. Test quality: - `test_sol_attn_self_attention_is_served_under_separate_qkv` allocated a CUDA tensor with no skip guard, so it errored rather than skipped on a CPU-only host. `_can_serve` compares shapes and a layer index and never touches the device, so the test now builds CPU tensors and runs everywhere -- strictly more coverage than adding the skip marker its two CUDA neighbours carry. Housekeeping: - `cute_dsl_kernels/blackwell/sol_attn_backend.py`, added by this PR, was missing the NVIDIA SPDX header every sibling file carries. - Complete the type annotations in `sol_attn.py`: `frozenset[int]`, `set[int]`, and the parameters of `_delegate`/`_dense_by_step`. - `sparse-attention.md`: add the missing `Sol-Attn` table-of-contents entry (nested, since the section is an h3 under Overview like `Algorithms`), and fix "dense dense attention", a duplicated word spanning a line break that a flat grep missed. Tests: 95 passed, 1 skipped across the Sol-Attn, VSA and dense CuTeDSL suites, up from 86 -- nine new cases covering the `dense_layers` validator on both the accept and reject paths. `pre-commit run` clean on the changed files.

Description
Adds Sol-Attn (arXiv:2607.24027) as a third
sparse-attention algorithm for VisualGen, alongside
skip_softmaxand VSA. It foldsdynamic block routing, sparse computation, and an approximation-correction term into a
single online-softmax pass.
Configured through
SolAttentionConfig, dispatched viacreate_attentionthe sameway
skip_softmaxandvsaare:disabled_until_timestepfollows skip-softmax's field of the same name and the samesense: dense while the normalized denoising timestep is at or above the cutoff, sparse
below it. The value arrives as a forward kwarg that every VisualGen pipeline already
supplies, so no per-pipeline wiring is needed.
Scope and behaviour
sm100 (B200/GB200) only,
head_dim=128, bf16, MHA. Context parallelism andquantized attention are rejected explicitly, mirroring VSA's guards. An unsupported
shape, dtype or architecture degrades to dense with a
warning_onceand adense_fallback_callscounter;SOL_ATTN_STRICT=1raises instead.Non-sparse work stays on the configured backend. Sol-Attn is self-attention only and
does not run its kernel on every step, so three paths do dense attention: the
dense_layersguard, thedisabled_until_timestepprefix, and kernel-ineligibilityfallback. All three use
cute_dsl_fmha_fwd— the dense kernel of the selected backend —not
torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention. Cross-attention (SEPARATE_QKV)likewise falls back within the backend family rather than to VANILLA.
This matters beyond tidiness: with
disabled_until_timestep=0.0001, so the sparse kernelnever fires, Sol-Attn is byte-identical to a plain
backend: CUTEDSLrun (LPIPS0.0000). Any measured difference is therefore sparsity and nothing else. The pipeline is
bit-deterministic on this workload — a repeated identical config also scores 0.0000 — so
that is an exact statement, not an approximate one.
Performance
Wan2.2-T2V-A14B, 720x1280x81f, 40 steps (the model default,
models/wan/defaults.py), B200, seed 42,torch.compileenabled (the productiondefault). Baseline is dense CuTeDSL under the same compile setting.
Eager, for reference: 474.1 s -> 341.9 s, 1.386x, 27.9 % (single repetition).
Protocol: one warmup generation then two timed repetitions; the figures above are
their mean. Within-run spread is at most 0.13 %. Each prompt's baseline and
candidate were measured in the same allocation, which is what makes the
ratios comparable -- absolute times drift by ~2 % between allocations (different
node, different clock state), while the speedups do not.
Speedup is
T_base / T_new; time saved is(1 - T_new / T_base) x 100.Accuracy
LPIPS against the dense CuTeDSL baseline at the same compile setting, gate 0.25,
worst-prompt governs.
torch.compileKEEP in both modes. Enabling
torch.compiledoes not cost quality at this operatingpoint -- it is marginally better on every prompt.
Test coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_attention_cute_dsl_sol_attn.py, registered inl0_b200.yml. Covers backend-factory dispatch, cross-attention staying in-family,context-parallel and quantized-attention rejection, GQA/MQA rejection, the
dense_layersguard, dense-prefix phase semantics either side of the cutoff, fail-open on a missing
timestep, both CUDA-graph key cases, kernel-eligibility reasons,
SOL_ATTN_STRICT,dense-fallback numerics and counters, arch-list drift between
SUPPORTED_ARCHSand_CUTE_BACKENDS, and that both Dynamo-opacity boundaries stay decorated.34 passed, 1 documented skip in this PR's own suite on B200.
Run together with the VSA and dense CuTeDSL suites -- both touched by the
cross-attention change in
modules/attention.py-- the three total 84 passed,1 skipped, so neither neighbouring backend regresses.
