-## Sliding Tile Attention (STA)
-We only support H100 for STA.
-
-### Installation
-```bash
-pip install st_attn
-``` 
-
-Install from source:
-
-```bash
-git submodule update --init --recursive
-python setup.py install
-```
-
-If you encounter error during installation, try below:
-Install C++20 for ThunderKittens:
-```bash
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install gcc-11 g++-11
-
-sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 100 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11
-
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install clang-11
-```
-(If you use CUDA12.8)
-```bash
-export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-12.8
-export PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/bin:${PATH} 
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-```
-
-###  Usage
-End-2-end inference with FastVideo:
-```bash
-bash scripts/inference/v1_inference_wan_STA.sh
-```
-
-If you want to use sliding tile attention in your custom model:
-```python
-from st_attn import sliding_tile_attention
-# assuming video size (T, H, W) = (30, 48, 80), text tokens = 256 with padding. 
-# q, k, v: [batch_size, num_heads, seq_length, head_dim], seq_length = T*H*W + 256
-# a tile is a cube of size (6, 8, 8)
-# window_size in tiles: [(window_t, window_h, window_w), (..)...]. For example, window size (3, 3, 3) means a query can attend to (3x6, 3x8, 3x8) = (18, 24, 24) tokens out of the total 30x48x80 video.
-# text_length: int ranging from 0 to 256
-# If your attention contains text token (Hunyuan)
-out = sliding_tile_attention(q, k, v, window_size, text_length)
-# If your attention does not contain text token (StepVideo)
-out = sliding_tile_attention(q, k, v, window_size, 0, False)
-```
-
-
-### Test
-```bash
-python ../tests/test_sta.py # test STA
-python ../tests/test_vsa.py # test VSA
-```
-### Benchmark
-```bash
-python ../benchmarks/bench_sta.py
-```
-
-
-### How Does STA Work?
-We give a demo for 2D STA with window size (6,6) operating on a (10, 10) image. 
-
-
-https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f3b6dd79-7b43-4b60-a0fa-3d6495ec5747
-
-## Why is STA Fast?
-2D/3D Sliding Window Attention (SWA) creates many mixed blocks in the attention map. Even though mixed blocks have less output value,a mixed block is significantly slower than a dense block due to the GPU-unfriendly masking operation. 
-
-STA removes mixed blocks.

-
-### Installation
-We support H100 (via TK) and any other GPU (via triton) for VSA.
-
-```bash
-pip install vsa
-``` 
-
-Install from source:
-
-```bash
-git submodule update --init --recursive
-python setup.py install
-```
-
-
-If you encounter error during installation, try below:
-Install C++20 for ThunderKittens:

-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install gcc-11 g++-11
-
-sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 100 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11
-
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install clang-11

-```bash
-export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-12.8
-export PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/bin:${PATH} 
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-```
-
-### Verify if you have successfully installed
-
-```bash
-# test numerical
-python ../tests/test_vsa.py
-# (For H100) test speed
-python ../benchmarks/bench_vsa_hopper.py
-```
-
-bench_vsa_hopper.py should print something like this:
