- Guardrail install points to ifm-ai/pan2-guardrail, as in the vLLM-Omni and Diffusers ports.
- The basic example runs the release's own text-to-video structured caption (10 s, 241 frames) instead of a plain prompt.
- Docs and the flow-shift comment name the release checkpoint IFM/PAN2; the docs and cookbook no longer describe its release status or the parity tests' checkpoint.
- FASTVIDEO_FA4 is set only while the PAN2 pipeline loads, instead of for the rest of the process.

- mypy types for the guardrail broadcast and the negative-prompt fill; yapf kept off the negative prompt.
- Classify PAN2PipelineConfig's kernel and guardrail fields in the schema parity inventory.

- Attention: on sm_100+ with flash_attn.cute installed and FASTVIDEO_FA4 unset, the PAN2 pipeline turns FA4 on
before its modules load. One B300, 241 frames: 288 s instead of 670 s with the SDPA fallback. FASTVIDEO_FA4=0
keeps the previous backend.
- First frame: an image_path is read as its stored pixels, without the EXIF orientation rotation, as the reference
sampler reads it (load_image gains exif_transpose=True). All 11 sign-off inputs, one EXIF-rotated, now reach the
VAE bit-identical to the reference.
- Wan2.2 VAE decode kernel: each process builds in a temporary directory of its own instead of a shared
rank<LOCAL_RANK> directory, and finished builds go through the loader's keyed cache, added by atomic rename.
Two processes building at once both succeed; a later one fetches the build in about 2 s.

An empty negative prompt now selects the release's structured negative caption with its time ranges set to the
clip's duration, as the reference sampler does; a single space still gives the empty unconditional prompt.
The serving config and cookbook now say guidance 2.5, matching the presets.

PAN 2's vLLM-Omni and Diffusers integrations check every prompt and every
generated video with the `pan2-guardrail` package's PAN2SafetyChecker, on by
default. FastVideo now does the same:
- `PAN2PromptGuardrailStage` checks the prompt right after input validation,
before any compute. It also refuses `output_type="latent"`, which the video
check cannot see.
- `PAN2VideoGuardrailStage` checks each decoded video after the decoding stage,
as the uint8 `[T, H, W, 3]` frames the generator delivers.
- A blocked prompt or video raises `PAN2GuardrailViolationError`.
- `PAN2PipelineConfig.enable_guardrails` (default True) turns both checks off;
`offload_guardrail_models` keeps the guard models on CPU between checks.
Loading fails with install instructions when the package is missing and the
guardrails are on.
- With sequence parallelism, only the first rank of the SP group loads the
checker and runs the checks; it broadcasts the verdict, so every rank raises
together and the guard models take memory on one GPU.
The parity test turns the guardrails off (random-weight checkpoint). Docs and
PORT_STATUS updated.

- fastvideo-kernel/wan22_vae_decode: the Wan2.2 (TI2V-5B) VAE decoder on sm_100a / sm_103a at 704x1248, built on
first use against fastvideo-kernel's CUTLASS submodule. It frees intermediates early and carries 4 latent frames
per pass: a 5 s video peaks at 20.3 GiB, down from 94.6 GiB in the kernel's first version, with the same output.
- WanVAEConfig.decode_kernel routes AutoencoderKLWan.decode through it where it applies (bf16 with fp32
accumulation, about 7x faster than the fp32 decode on a B300, PSNR 61-63 dB, SSIM 0.998 against it);
decode_kernel_parallel splits the decode over the sequence-parallel group (2, 4 or 8 GPUs) and broadcasts the
video, with the ranks agreeing on whether every one of them could build the kernel.
- PAN2's DiT runs fused Triton kernels for Q/K RMSNorm + RoPE and LayerNorm + modulation (pan2_fusions,
set_fused_kernels).
- PAN2PipelineConfig turns all three on (vae_decode_kernel, vae_decode_kernel_parallel, dit_fused_kernels).
- VideoGenerator copies a decoded RGB video's frames to the host once instead of once per frame.
- The PAN2 presets sample at guidance 2.5, the reference launcher's default since 2026-10-23.
The unit lane fails on main in two contract tests. All three failures are
bookkeeping that drifted from the code, not runtime bugs:
- `test_env_policy.py::test_env_doc_table_matches_registry`: the generated
table in docs/contributing/env_vars.md is stale for
FASTVIDEO_MLX_QUANT_GEMM. Regenerated with the documented command
(`python fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py`).
- `test_env_policy.py::test_env_access_follows_policy`: two new violations.
- fastvideo/tests/mlx/test_mlx_affine_dq_gemm.py wrote
FASTVIDEO_MLX_QUANT_GEMM through monkeypatch.setenv; now uses the
registered field's override() through the env_overrides fixture.
- fastvideo/tests/train/models/test_load_kandinsky5.py read
FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND with `not in os.environ`; now uses
envs.FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND.is_set() and override(). Its entry in
KNOWN_VIOLATIONS is deleted, as the shrinking-list rule requires.
- `test_schema_parity_inventory.py::..._extension_fields_are_classified`:
MiniMaxH3PipelineConfig declares video_scheduler_shift and
audio_scheduler_shift (training-time noise clocks rejected by
check_pipeline_config at inference); both are added to
pipeline_config_extensions.internal_only.
Test plan (CPU, no GPU required):
python -m pytest fastvideo/tests/contract/test_env_policy.py \
fastvideo/tests/api/test_schema_parity_inventory.py \
fastvideo/tests/mlx/test_mlx_affine_dq_gemm.py -q
# 45 passed
python -m pytest fastvideo/tests/contract/ fastvideo/tests/api/ -q -m "not gpu"
# 501 passed
These speed-ups for the MiniMax-H3 pipelines keep the output bit-identical. Each
one has a switch that is off by default:
- FASTVIDEO_MINIMAX_H3_EXACT_KERNELS: Triton RoPE, AdaLN modulation, gated
residual and SwiGLU kernels that round to bf16 at the same points as the
eager ops.
- FASTVIDEO_H3_VSA_HEADS_FIRST_TILE: VSA-H3 tiles are written directly in the
heads-first layout of the kernel.
- FASTVIDEO_H3_VAE_TILE_PARALLEL: VAE spatial tiles are split across the
sequence-parallel ranks.
- FASTVIDEO_H3_REF2VA_MEMO_ENTRIES: repeat reference encodes are reused.
The example basic_fasth3_omniref_pdd.py --lossless-accel turns them all on.
On GB200 with 4 GPUs, MiniMax-H3 text to video with audio (124 frames,
1344x768) gives bit-identical frames and audio with the first three switches
on and off.
MultiprocExecutor created two streaming multiprocessing queues for every
generator, but only StreamingVideoGenerator uses them. Each queue uses POSIX
named semaphores in /dev/shm. When a job epilog deleted these files, spawned
workers failed to start. The executor now creates the queues only when
FastVideoArgs.enable_streaming_ipc_queues is set. StreamingVideoGenerator sets
it on a copy of its arguments in queue mode. Standard generation creates no
streaming semaphores.
The distributed_setup test fixture now sets MASTER_ADDR and MASTER_PORT when
they are not set, with a new port for each test, and restores them after the
test. pyproject.toml now declares orjson and python-multipart, which the
OpenAI-compatible server needs. Two documents about the SSIM reference
bootstrap are corrected.
For Wan VSA inference with 64-token tiles, each attention layer scattered Q, K,
V and the gate into a tile buffer and then made four transposed copies. On
SM100, one Triton kernel (tile_to_bhsd) now does the scatter and the transposes
in one pass. Training, 256-token tiles, other GPUs and builds without the kernel
use the previous path. FASTVIDEO_DISABLE_VSA64_FUSED_LAYOUT=1 turns the fused
path off.
On GB200 the layout and attention step goes from 15.7 ms to 8.6 ms. FastWan 1.3B
frames are bit-exact with the previous path at sequence parallel 1 and 2.
