Stable Diffusion user tests sparse attention thresholds for H3 index

A user on Reddit explored the effectiveness of sparse attention in Stable Diffusion models, specifically testing the H3 Healthcare Three Hop Index. Their experiments indicated that visual degradation in videos becomes noticeable below 10% retained attention, while semantic changes can occur up to 50%. The user found that increasing attention in earlier stages of generation significantly improved semantic consistency, with a tapering attention ramp yielding the best results. AI
