Linearizing Llama
Linearizing Llama Speeding up Llama: A hybrid approach to attention mechanisms Source: Image by Author (Generated using Gemini 1.5 Flash) In this article, we will see how to replace softmax self-attention in Llama-3.2-1B with hybrid attention combining softmax sliding window and linear attention. This implementation will help us better understand the growing interest in linear attention…

Linearizing Attention
Linearizing Attention Breaking the quadratic barrier: modern alternatives to softmax attention Large Languange Models are great but they have a slight drawback that they use softmax attention which can be computationally intensive. In this article we will explore if there is a way we can replace the softmax somehow to achieve linear time complexity. Image…
