SparkWan2.1-T2V-1.3B-480P-0.90Sparsity

This repository contains the released SparkDiffusion checkpoint for Wan2.1 T2V 1.3B at 480P. It supports 90% attention sparsity (topk=0.1).

SparkDiffusion uses RoLA for learned sparse attention and CrossDistill for few-step diffusion distillation, reducing video generation latency while retaining the original Wan text-to-video task and model architecture.
