+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+#### SpargeAttn/Sage2 Block-Sparse Attention Integration
+- **New attention mode: `sparge_sage2`** - Block-sparse attention optimized for NVIDIA Blackwell (RTX 50xx) GPUs
+- **Local vendored implementation** - No global installation required, uses Triton JIT compilation
+- Plug-and-play replacement for PyTorch SDPA using `spas_sage2_attn_meansim_topk_cuda`
+- Custom block-sparse patterns via `block_sparse_sage2_attn_cuda` with strict mask geometry (128x64 blocks)
+- Automatic fallback chain: `sparge_sage2` → `sageattn_3` → `sageattn_2` → `sdpa`
+
+#### Local SpargeAttn Module (`src/optimization/spas_sage_attn/`)
+- **Triton JIT compilation** - Kernels compile on first use, optimized for CUDA 12.8+ and 13.x
+- Pure Python/Triton implementation - No MSVC/NVCC compilation conflicts
+- Files included:

+  - `utils.py` - Utility functions for block map computation
+  - `quant_per_block.py` - INT8 quantization kernels
+  - `autotune.py` - Triton autotuning utilities
+- Automatic GPU architecture detection (Blackwell sm100+, Hopper sm90, Ampere sm80+)
+
+#### Blackwell (RTX 50xx) Specific Optimizations
+- **`Sage2BlackwellConfig`** class with Blackwell-tuned parameters:
+  - Optimized topk sparsity ratios (0.3 fast, 0.5 balanced, 0.7 quality)
+  - Block size: 128x64 matching Sage2 kernel expectations
+  - Triton kernel parameters tuned for Blackwell L1 cache (128KB) and Tensor Cores

+  - Supports multiple topk sparsity ratios
+  - Reports max/mean absolute error, cosine similarity

+  - Throughput (tokens/second)
+  - Peak VRAM memory usage

+- New wrapper functions in `src/optimization/compatibility.py`:
+  - `call_sparge_sage2_attn()` - Direct Sage2 attention call

+  - `call_sparge_sage2_varlen()` - Variable-length sequence support
+- Mask geometry validation with `Sage2BlackwellConfig.validate_mask_geometry()`

+
+### Changed
+
+#### Dependencies
+- `torch>=2.3.0` - Minimum PyTorch version for CUDA 12.x compatibility
+- `ninja>=1.11` - Required for SpargeAttn Triton kernel compilation
+
+#### Attention Backends
+- Updated `FlashAttentionVarlen` class (both dit_3b and dit_7b) to support `sparge_sage2` mode
+- Enhanced attention mode validation with SpargeAttn-specific fallback logic
+- Updated startup logging to display SpargeAttn/Sage2 availability status
+
+### Technical Details
+
+#### Sage2 API Usage
+The Sage2 architecture provides two primary APIs:
+
+1. **Plug-and-Play API** (recommended for most use cases):
+   ```python
+   from spas_sage_attn import spas_sage2_attn_meansim_topk_cuda
+   output = spas_sage2_attn_meansim_topk_cuda(q, k, v, topk=0.5, is_causal=False)
+   ```
+
+2. **Block-Sparse API** (for custom sparsity patterns):
+   ```python
+   from spas_sage_attn import block_sparse_sage2_attn_cuda
+   # mask_id shape: (batch, heads, ceil(seq/128), ceil(seq/64))
+   output = block_sparse_sage2_attn_cuda(q, k, v, mask_id)
+   ```
+
+#### Blackwell-Specific Tuning
+- **Triton Parameters**: `num_warps=8`, `num_stages=4`, `block_m=128`, `block_n=64`
+- **Sparsity Thresholds**:
+  - `TOPK_FAST = 0.3` - Maximum speed, some accuracy tradeoff
+  - `TOPK_BALANCED = 0.5` - Default, balanced speed/accuracy
+  - `TOPK_QUALITY = 0.7` - Higher quality, less speedup
+- **Precision**: Prefers FP8 on Blackwell, falls back to BF16 for compatibility
+
+#### Block-Sparse Mask Geometry
+The block-sparse API requires masks with specific geometry:
+- Shape: `(batch_size, num_heads, ceil(seq_len/128), ceil(seq_len/64))`
+- Block size: 128 rows × 64 columns
+- Non-zero entries indicate which blocks to compute
+
+### Installation
+
+#### Prerequisites
+- NVIDIA GPU with CUDA 12.8+ (Blackwell for optimal performance, also supports CUDA 13.x)
+- PyTorch 2.3.0 or later
+- Triton (included with PyTorch, used for JIT kernel compilation)
+
+#### Local Integration (Recommended - No Build Required)
+The SpargeAttn implementation is now vendored locally in `src/optimization/spas_sage_attn/`.
+No separate installation is needed - Triton kernels compile JIT on first use.
+
+```bash
+# Just ensure Triton is available (usually bundled with PyTorch)
+pip install triton
+
+# The local implementation will be used automatically
+python -c "from src.optimization.compatibility import SPARGE_SAGE2_AVAILABLE, SPARGE_SAGE2_VERSION; print(f'Available: {SPARGE_SAGE2_AVAILABLE}, Version: {SPARGE_SAGE2_VERSION}')"
+```
+
+#### Global Installation (Optional - For Full CUDA Kernel Support)
+For maximum performance with precompiled CUDA kernels (if local JIT has issues):
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip install ninja>=1.11
+
+# Build from source:
+git clone https://github.com/thu-ml/SpargeAttn
+cd SpargeAttn
+python setup.py install
+```
+
+#### Verification
+```bash
+# Check availability
+python -c "from src.optimization.compatibility import SPARGE_SAGE2_AVAILABLE; print(f'SpargeAttn available: {SPARGE_SAGE2_AVAILABLE}')"
+
+# Run verification tests
+python scripts/sage2_verification.py --verbose
+
+# Run benchmarks
+python scripts/sage2_benchmark.py --batch-sizes 1,2 --seq-lengths 256,512
+```
+
+### Performance Notes
+
+#### Expected Performance (Blackwell GPUs)
+Based on Sage2 architecture characteristics:
+- **Throughput**: Up to 2x improvement with topk=0.5 sparsity
+- **Memory**: 10-30% reduction in peak VRAM usage
+- **Latency**: 1.5-2x faster inference for long sequences
+
+#### Fallback Behavior
+- If SpargeAttn is unavailable, the system gracefully falls back to SageAttention 3/2 or PyTorch SDPA
+- Variable-length sequences automatically fall back to SageAttention 2 (SpargeAttn uses batched attention)
+- All attention modes maintain numerical stability with automatic dtype conversion
+
+### Known Limitations
+- SpargeAttn Sage2 requires uniform sequence lengths (varlen falls back to SageAttention 2)
+- Block-sparse masks must follow strict 128x64 geometry
+- Optimal performance requires CUDA 12.8+ and Blackwell architecture
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+#### Enabling SpargeAttn/Sage2
+To use the new attention mode, set `attention_mode='sparge_sage2'` in your pipeline configuration:
+
+```python
+# In model configuration
+attention_mode = 'sparge_sage2'  # New Blackwell-optimized mode
+
+# The system will automatically fall back if SpargeAttn is not available
+```
+
+#### Adjusting Sparsity
+For custom sparsity levels, pass the `topk` parameter through kwargs:
+
+```python
+# Lower topk = more sparsity = faster but less accurate
+# Higher topk = less sparsity = slower but more accurate
+kwargs['topk'] = 0.5  # Default balanced setting
+```
