Full attention O(n²): 17.96s / 5.6 tok/s
HybridAttention O(n·W + n·D): 0.35s / 286.6 tok/s
Look into RWKV.
Yeah RWKV is definitely related in spirit (recurrent state for long context). Here I’m combining local windowed attention with a gated recurrent path + KV cache compression, so it’s more hybrid than fully replacing attention
Is this for just like auto complete, because you are not going to get anything very useful out of a code-only training set.
Yeah auto complete is an amazing use case. I needed a small model that used transformers , could fit on my weak consumer GPU .
So i needed to make fundamental arquitecture changes .Do some KV cache tricks.
And then prove the new arquitecture was faster with benchmarks and perplexity was acceptable.
I think it's more a proof of concept: locally trained. It would take lots of resources/time to train something non-trivial.
