Introducing Varya.

Built by @Avataar, #Varya delivers frontier-quality results at materially lower inference cost.

Deeply grateful to #IndiaAIMission and @SecretaryMEITY for the support, mentorship and conviction in helping bring this to life.

Thank you @RajanAnandan, @brettsingh,
@shaileshlakhani for your invaluable partnership through this journey.

The result: Better supervision signals across exits, stronger and stable guidance leading to far better quality in 4 steps v/s other distillation methods.

Open weights and technical report will be hosted on AIKosh soon. Thanks to everyone for the encouraging curiosity!

We released https://t.co/n71TnZbcMR on Friday to enable fast, high quality video generation.

Varya generates 720p video in 45 seconds on a single H200. Against a 50-step Wan 2.2 baseline under the same cost model, Varya is 27× faster and cheaper, while remaining close on VBench quality.

Varya uses the CA-DM decomposition at sampled exits of a bidirectional video rollout. CA is the prompt-direction signal: it uses the teacher's conditional-unconditional gap to improve semantic alignment and visual detail.

DM is the distribution-shape signal: it compares the fake score with the frozen conditional teacher score and stabilizes the student-induced distribution.
