 LiquidFlow: A Novel Liquid-SSM Flow Matching Image Generator
-v0.2.0 — Memory-optimized for Colab T4 (15GB VRAM)
+v0.3.0 — PARALLEL SSM scan via torch.associative_scan (O(log L) not O(L))
 
-Key fixes from v0.1:
-- SSM scan computes per-step (no 4D tensor materialization → saves ~6GB)
-- Gradient checkpointing on SSM + Liquid branches (saves ~60% activations)
-- Liquid CfC simplified to single fused projection (saves ~2GB)
+Key changes from v0.2:
+- SSM uses torch.associative_scan for O(log L) parallel scan (no Python for-loop)
+- Fallback: Blelloch tree-scan in pure PyTorch for older PyTorch versions
+- patch_size=8 for 128×128 → L=256 tokens (not 1024)
+- patch_size=4 for 32/64 → fine at small sizes
