View sourceVideo large language models (Video-LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in video understanding tasks. However, their practical deployment is still hindered by the inefficiency introduced by processing massive amounts of visual tokens. Although recent approaches achieve extremely low token retention ratios while maintaining accuracy comparable to full-token baselines, most of them perform compression only at the late stage of prefilling, leaving the efficiency of the vision encoder unoptimized. In this paper, we first show that vision encoding contributes a large portion to the time-to-first-token (TTFT). Therefore, instead of compressing visual tokens only after the vision encoder, performing compression inside the encoder still leaves substantial room for exploration. Based on this insight, we propose EarlyTom, a training-free token compression framework that performs early-stage visual token compression inside the vision encoder, enabling significantly better TTFT reduction and higher throughput. In addition, we introduce a decoupled spatial token selection strategy that improves the overall compression effectiveness. EarlyTom reduces TTFT by up to 2.65x and FLOPs by up to 61% on a single NVIDIA A100 GPU for the LLaVA-OneVision-7B model, while maintaining accuracy comparable to the full-token baseline. These improvements substantially enhance the practicality of deploying Video-LLMs in real-world production scenarios.
View sourceDiffusion Transformers achieve strong video generation quality, but the quadratic cost of full attention limits efficiency. We introduce OSP-Next, an efficient text-to-video generation model that integrates sparse attention, parallelism, quantization, and reinforcement learning. OSP-Next uses a hybrid full-sparse attention architecture, where the sparse component is implemented with Skiparse-2D Attention. This fixed-pattern mechanism applies token-wise and group-wise sparse attention along spatial dimensions, leveraging locality while maintaining native compatibility with FlashAttention kernels. Based on the local equivalence of rearrangement in Skiparse-2D Attention, we further propose Sparse Sequence Parallelism (SSP), which partitions subsequences across ranks and switches sparse patterns through a single All-to-All communication. Compared with Ulysses Sequence Parallelism (SP), SSP provides a native parallel strategy for sparse attention and reduces communication volume by 75%. OSP-Next also incorporates HiF8 quantization to enable stable joint training with 8-bit quantization and sparse fine-tuning, and applies Mix-GRPO post-training to improve the performance of the sparse model. Experiments show that OSP-Next achieves a VBench total score of 83.73%, surpassing the Wan2.1 baseline. Under the 5-second 720P and 5-second 768P settings, OSP-Next achieves up to 1.64times single-GPU speedup and over 1.52times eight-GPU speedup on NVIDIA H200 GPUs. In addition, with only a 0.4% drop in VBench total score, OSP-Next-HiF8 achieves 1.69times and 2.27times speedups under the two settings on a single Ascend 950PR, demonstrating the efficiency and performance of OSP-Next across hardware platforms.

Avatar reconstruction has traditionally relied on per-subject optimization that requires hours of computation or on expensive preprocessing that limits scalability. We introduce FFAvatar, a generalizable feed-forward framework that reconstructs high-quality, animatable 3D Gaussian head avatars from few-shot unposed portrait images in seconds. FFAvatar fuses information from multiple source images into a unified canonical Gaussian representation through Multi-View Query-Former, which is animated via FLAME parameters predicted end-to-end directly from pixels, eliminating the overhead of offline FLAME extraction. We further propose a three-stage training curriculum that achieves both broad generalization and high-fidelity reconstruction: (i) scalable pretraining on extensive monocular video data with over 1M identities to learn strong generalizable priors; (ii) multi-view fine-tuning on a small but high-quality dataset of 360-degree captures to enhance geometric fidelity and extreme-view awareness; and (iii) optional personalization that adapts to specific identities for maximum fidelity within 500 optimization steps. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FFAvatar sets a new standard for identity preservation, geometric consistency, and animation fidelity. On the NeRSemble benchmark, it outperforms the state-of-the-art LAM by a substantial 5.5 PSNR gain. Furthermore, FFAvatar enables real-time deployment, reconstructing avatars in 2 seconds without personalization and 10 seconds with personalization, while supporting 49 FPS animation on a single NVIDIA A100 GPU.
Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models adopt a streaming generation framework, enabling long-horizon video generation with real-time responsiveness, as exemplified by the Self Forcing training paradigm. However, existing AR video diffusion models still suffer from significant attention complexity and severe memory overhead due to the redundant key-value (KV) caches across historical frames, which limits scalability. In this paper, we tackle this challenge by introducing KV cache compression into autoregressive video diffusion. We observe that attention heads in mainstream AR diffusion models exhibit markedly distinct attention patterns and functional roles that remain stable across samples and denoising steps. Building on our empirical study of head-wise functional specialization, we divide the attention heads into two categories: static heads, which focus on transitions across autoregressive chunks and intra-frame fidelity, and dynamic heads, which govern inter-frame motion and consistency. We then propose Forcing-KV, a hybrid KV cache compression strategy that performs structured static pruning for static heads and dynamic pruning based on segment-wise similarity for dynamic heads. While maintaining output quality, our method achieves a generation speed of over 29 frames per second on a single NVIDIA H200 GPU along with 30% cache memory reduction, delivering up to 1.35x and 1.50x speedups on LongLive and Self Forcing at 480P resolution, and further scaling to 2.82x speedup at 1080P resolution.

We introduce ReflectDrive-2, a masked discrete diffusion planner with separate action expert for autonomous driving that represents plans as discrete trajectory tokens and generates them through parallel masked decoding. This discrete token space enables in-place trajectory revision: AutoEdit rewrites selected tokens using the same model, without requiring an auxiliary refinement network. To train this capability, we use a two-stage procedure. First, we construct structure-aware perturbations of expert trajectories along longitudinal progress and lateral heading directions and supervise the model to recover the original expert trajectory. We then fine-tune the full decision--draft--reflect rollout with reinforcement learning (RL), assigning terminal driving reward to the final post-edit trajectory and propagating policy-gradient credit through full-rollout transitions. Full-rollout RL proves crucial for coupling drafting and editing: under supervised training alone, inference-time AutoEdit improves PDMS by at most 0.3, whereas RL increases its gain to 1.9. We also co-design an efficient reflective decoding stack for the decision--draft--reflect pipeline, combining shared-prefix KV reuse, Alternating Step Decode, and fused on-device unmasking. On NAVSIM, ReflectDrive-2 achieves 91.0 PDMS with camera-only input and 94.8 PDMS in a best-of-6 oracle setting, while running at 31.8 ms average latency on NVIDIA Thor.
We introduce Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, the latest model in the Nemotron multimodal series and the first to natively support audio inputs alongside text, images, and video. Nemotron 3 Nano Omni delivers consistent accuracy improvements over its predecessor, Nemotron Nano V2 VL, across all modalities, enabled by advances in architecture, training data and recipes. In particular, Nemotron 3 delivers leading results in real-world document understanding, long audio-video comprehension, and agentic computer use. Built on the highly efficient Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B backbone, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni further incorporates innovative multimodal token-reduction techniques to deliver substantially lower inference latency and higher throughput than other models of similar size. We are releasing model checkpoints in BF16, FP8, and FP4 formats, along with portions of the training data and codebase to facilitate further research and development.
RLVR improves reasoning in large language models, but its effectiveness is often limited by severe reward sparsity on hard problems. Recent hint-based RL methods mitigate sparsity by injecting partial solutions or abstract templates, yet they typically scale guidance by adding more tokens, which introduce redundancy, inconsistency, and extra training overhead. We propose KnowRL (Knowledge-Guided Reinforcement Learning), an RL training framework that treats hint design as a minimal-sufficient guidance problem. During RL training, KnowRL decomposes guidance into atomic knowledge points (KPs) and uses Constrained Subset Search (CSS) to construct compact, interaction-aware subsets for training. We further identify a pruning interaction paradox -- removing one KP may help while removing multiple such KPs can hurt -- and explicitly optimize for robust subset curation under this dependency structure. We train KnowRL-Nemotron-1.5B from OpenMath-Nemotron-1.5B. Across eight reasoning benchmarks at the 1.5B scale, KnowRL-Nemotron-1.5B consistently outperforms strong RL and hinting baselines. Without KP hints at inference, KnowRL-Nemotron-1.5B reaches 70.08 average accuracy, already surpassing Nemotron-1.5B by +9.63 points; with selected KPs, performance improves to 74.16, establishing a new state of the art at this scale. The model, curated training data, and code are publicly available at https://github.com/Hasuer/KnowRL.
The rapid evolution of autonomous, agentic artificial intelligence within financial services has introduced an existential architectural crisis: large language models (LLMs) are probabilistic, non-deterministic systems operating in domains that demand absolute, mathematically verifiable compliance guarantees. Existing guardrail solutions -- including NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails and Guardrails AI -- rely on probabilistic classifiers and syntactic validators that are fundamentally inadequate for enforcing complex multi-variable regulatory constraints mandated by the SEC, FINRA, and OCC. This paper presents the Lean-Agent Protocol, a formal-verification-based AI guardrail platform that leverages the Aristotle neural-symbolic model developed by Harmonic AI to auto-formalize institutional policies into Lean 4 code. Every proposed agentic action is treated as a mathematical conjecture: execution is permitted if and only if the Lean 4 kernel proves that the action satisfies pre-compiled regulatory axioms. This architecture provides cryptographic-level compliance certainty at microsecond latency, directly satisfying SEC Rule 15c3-5, OCC Bulletin 2011-12, FINRA Rule 3110, and CFPB explainability mandates. A three-phase implementation roadmap from shadow verification through enterprise-scale deployment is provided.
Agentic Variation Operators (AVO) are a new family of evolutionary variation operators that replace the fixed mutation, crossover, and hand-designed heuristics of classical evolutionary search with autonomous coding agents. Rather than confining a language model to candidate generation within a prescribed pipeline, AVO instantiates variation as a self-directed agent loop that can consult the current lineage, a domain-specific knowledge base, and execution feedback to propose, repair, critique, and verify implementation edits. We evaluate AVO on attention, among the most aggressively optimized kernel targets in AI, on NVIDIA Blackwell (B200) GPUs. Over 7 days of continuous autonomous evolution on multi-head attention, AVO discovers kernels that outperform cuDNN by up to 3.5% and FlashAttention-4 by up to 10.5% across the evaluated configurations. The discovered optimizations transfer readily to grouped-query attention, requiring only 30 minutes of additional autonomous adaptation and yielding gains of up to 7.0% over cuDNN and 9.3% over FlashAttention-4. Together, these results show that agentic variation operators move beyond prior LLM-in-the-loop evolutionary pipelines by elevating the agent from candidate generator to variation operator, and can discover performance-critical micro-architectural optimizations that produce kernels surpassing state-of-the-art expert-engineered attention implementations on today's most advanced GPU hardware.
Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation (DoRA) extends LoRA by decoupling weight magnitude from direction, but its forward pass requires the row-wise norm of W + sBA, a computation that every major framework we surveyed implements by materializing the dense [d_out, d_in] product BA. At d_in = 8192 and rank r = 384, a single module's norm requires about 512 MB of transient working memory in bf16, making high-rank DoRA costly and often infeasible on common single-GPU setups once hundreds of adapted modules and checkpointing are involved. We present two systems contributions. A factored norm decomposes the squared norm into base, cross, and Gram terms computable through O(d_out r + r^2) intermediates, eliminating the dense product. Fused Triton kernels collapse the four-kernel DoRA composition into a single pass, reducing memory traffic by about 4x and using a numerically stable form that avoids catastrophic cancellation in the near-unity rescaling regime where magnitude scales concentrate in practice. Across six 8-32B vision-language models (VLMs) on three NVIDIA GPUs (RTX 6000 PRO, H200, B200) at r = 384 in bf16, the fused implementation is 1.5-2.0x faster than Hugging Face PEFT's DoRA implementation for inference and 1.5-1.9x faster for gradient computation (optimizer step excluded), with up to 7 GB lower peak VRAM. Microbenchmarks on six GPUs spanning four architecture generations (L40S, A100, RTX 6000 PRO, H200, B200, B300) confirm 1.5-2.7x compose-kernel speedup. Final-logit cosine similarity exceeds 0.9999 across all model/GPU pairs, and multi-seed training curves match within 7.1 x 10^-4 mean per-step loss delta over 2000 steps.
