Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) achieve strong video generation quality but suffer from high inference cost due to dense 3D attention, motivating sparse attention techniques for improving efficiency. However, existing training-free sparse attention methods for video generation still face two unresolved limitations: ignoring layer heterogeneity in attention pruning and ignoring query-key coupling in block partitioning, which hinder a better quality-speedup trade-off. In this work, we uncover a critical insight: attention sparsity is an intrinsic layer-wise property, with only minor variation across different inputs. Motivated by this observation, we propose SVOO, a training-free sparse attention framework for fast video generation via offline layer-wise sparsity profiling and online bidirectional co-clustering. Specifically, SVOO adopts a two-stage paradigm: (i) offline layer-wise sensitivity profiling to derive intrinsic per-layer pruning levels, and (ii) online block-wise sparse attention via a bidirectional co-clustering algorithm. Extensive experiments on seven widely used video generation models demonstrate that SVOO achieves a superior quality-speedup trade-off over state-of-the-art methods, delivering up to 1.93x speedup while maintaining a PSNR of up to 29 dB on Wan2.1.
