MEITUAN LONGCAT-VIDEO & AVATAR 1.5 // PURE RUST WORKSPACE

13.6B Unified DiT: 3D-RoPE, Shifted Flow Matching & Block-Sparse Attention.

longcat-video-rs unifies Text-to-Video (T2V), Image-to-Video (I2V), Drift-Free Video Continuation, and Multi-Stream Audio Avatars (LongCat-Avatar 1.5) in pure Rust. Powered by partitioned 64-D 3D Rotary Position Embeddings ($16_T + 24_H + 24_W$), resolution-shifted Rectified Flow ODE integration, and Local + Strided Global Block-Sparse Attention.

03 // RUST KERNEL ARCHITECTURE (LONGCAT-CORE) 13.6B UNIFIED DIFFUSION TRANSFORMER

01 // Partitioned 3D-RoPE (16T+24H+24W)

Partitions each 64-D attention head into 16 temporal, 24 vertical, and 24 horizontal rotary frequency channels, applying norm-preserving complex rotations across 3D video grids.

let rope = RoPE3D::new(RoPE3DConfig::default());
let rot = rope.apply_rope(&token_64d, t, h, w);

02 // Shifted Rectified Flow ODE

Applies high-resolution time shifting $\sigma_{\text{shifted}} = \frac{s \cdot t}{1 + (s - 1)t}$ to allocate more Euler integration steps to high-noise structural formation (`step_cfg`).

let sched = FlowMatchingEulerScheduler::new(3.0);
let steps = sched.get_schedule(30);
let next = FlowMatchingEulerScheduler::
    step_cfg(&x, &vc, &vu, 5.0, steps[0].dt);

03 // Block-Sparse & Multi-Audio

Combines local sliding-window blocks with strided global key/value blocks (`block_sparse_self_attention`) and mixes multiple 16 kHz speaker tracks into 1280-D Whisper-Large embeddings.

let out = Attention::block_sparse_self_attention(
    &tokens, num_tokens, 64, &sparse_cfg);
