FreqFormer: Hierarchical Frequency-Domain Attention with Adaptive Spectral Routing for Long-Sequence Video Diffusion Transformers

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.22808v1 Announce Type: new Long-sequence video diffusion transformers hit a quadratic self-attention cost that dominates runtime and memory for very long token sequences. Most efficient attention methods use one approximation everywhere, yet video features are spectrally structured: low frequencies carry global layout and coarse motion; high frequencies carry texture and fine detail. We present FreqFormer, a frequency-aware heterogeneous attention framework.
