V3.2 keeps MLA and bolts a lightning indexer on top: dense KV cache, sparse read. DeepSeek-V4 throws that layout away — every layer is a 128-token sliding window plus a compressed long-range branch, and layers alternate between CSA (m=4, indexer-selected) and HCA (m&amp;rsquo;=128, dense over blocks). Walking both through the reference implementations in huggingface/transformers.</description></item><item><title>From DiT to Hunyuan: The Evolution of adaLN-Zero in Generative Models</title><link>https://niyunsheng.github.io/adaln-zero-dit-sd3-hunyuan/</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2026 23:30:00 +0800</pubDate><guid>https://niyunsheng.github.io/adaln-zero-dit-sd3-hunyuan/</guid><description>From DiT to Hunyuan Video, adaLN-Zero remains the gold standard for conditioning.
