Résumé
FlashAttention-2 and FlashAttention-3 describe later changes evaluated on specific GPUs and workloads.
Plongeur bu xóot
The original FlashAttention paper presents an IO-aware exact attention algorithm. It uses tiling and online softmax to reduce HBM accesses while computing standard attention, and reports speedups on named benchmark workloads such as BERT-large and GPT-2. FlashAttention-2 improves parallelism and work partitioning. FlashAttention-3 studies asynchronous execution and low-precision FP8 on Hopper GPUs. Performance numbers depend on sequence lengths, model, hardware and implementation; the papers do not establish universal gains for every model or context length.

Ëlëgu FlashAttention
IO-aware attention designs may inform future GPU implementations, but adoption and performance are implementation-dependent. Benchmark the exact kernel, model, sequence length and target hardware instead of assuming long-context or multimodal gains.
