## Attention Backends
### Available Backends
- Torch SDPA: `FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=TORCH_SDPA`
- Flash Attention 2 and 3: `FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASH_ATTN`
- Sliding Tile Attention: `FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=SLIDING_TILE_ATTN`
- Video Sparse Attention: `FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=VIDEO_SPARSE_ATTN`
- Sage Attention: `FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=SAGE_ATTN`
- Sage Attention 3: `FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=SAGE_ATTN_THREE`
### Configuring Backends
There are two ways to configure the attention backend in FastVideo.
#### 1. In Python
In python, set the `FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND` environment variable before instantiating `VideoGenerator` like this:

### Sage Attention 3
**`SAGE_ATTN_THREE`**
[SageAttention 3](https://huggingface.co/jt-zhang/SageAttention3) is an advanced attention mechanism that leverages FP4 quantization and Blackwell GPU Tensor Cores for significant performance improvements.
#### Hardware Requirements
- RTX5090
#### Installation
Note that Sage Attention 3 requires `python>=3.13`, `torch>=2.8.0`, `CUDA >=12.8`. If you are using `uv` and using `torch==2.8.0` make sure that `sentencepiece==0.2.1` in the pyproject.toml file.
To use Sage Attention 3 in FastVideo, first get access to the SageAttention3 code, then move `sageattn/` and `setup.py` to the directory `fastvideo/attention/backends`, then install from using:
```bash
python setup.py install
```

## Teacache
TeaCache is an optimization technique supported in FastVideo that can significantly speed up video generation by skipping redundant calculations across diffusion steps. This guide explains how to enable and configure TeaCache for optimal performance in FastVideo.
