fuck i wish we had machines that could make anything out of plastic for less than $500 and also robots in my computer that can make any software i want. it'd be like living in the future
Introducing 𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒔: Rethinking depth-wise aggregation.
Residual connections have long relied on fixed, uniform accumulation. Inspired by the duality of time and depth, we introduce Attention Residuals, replacing standard depth-wise recurrence with learned, input-dependent attention over preceding layers.
🔹 Enables networks to selectively retrieve past representations, naturally mitigating dilution and hidden-state growth.
🔹 Introduces Block AttnRes, partitioning layers into compressed blocks to make cross-layer attention practical at scale.
🔹 Serves as an efficient drop-in replacement, demonstrating a 1.25x compute advantage with negligible (<2%) inference latency overhead.
🔹 Validated on the Kimi Linear architecture (48B total, 3B activated parameters), delivering consistent downstream performance gains.

Introducing LQ-LoRA
Decomposing pretrained matrices into (fixed) quantized + (trainable) low-rank components enables more aggressive quantization.
We can quantize LLaMA-2 70B to 2.5 bits with minimal degradation in instruction-tuning performance.
