ALiBi bias is the expectation of positional LSH-induced block masks, yielding spectral and max-norm approximation bounds that reduce long-context biased attention to randomized short-context unbiased attention.
Mamba-2 models fail to learn reversible state retrieval in the UNDO Flip-Flop task, defaulting to a toggle heuristic and achieving only 41% accuracy under adversarial conditions.
Small transformers reproduce known Bayesian posteriors with 10^{-3} to 10^{-4} bit accuracy in verifiable wind-tunnel tasks via residual belief states, FFN updates, and attention routing, while MLPs do not.
Griffin hybrid model matches Llama-2 performance while trained on over 6 times fewer tokens and offers lower inference latency with higher throughput.
OSDN adds online diagonal preconditioning to the Delta Rule, preserving chunkwise parallelism while proving super-geometric convergence and delivering 32-39% recall gains at 340M-1.3B scales.
Spectral Koopman operators let SSMs achieve 100% accuracy on long-gap multi-query associative recall with fixed memory, where pure Mamba fails.
Recurrent Transformers add per-layer recurrent memory via self-attention on own activations plus a tiling algorithm that reduces training memory traffic, yielding better C4 pretraining cross-entropy than parameter-matched standard transformers with fewer layers.
Gated KalmaNet uses exact Kalman gain computation with adaptive gating and Chebyshev iteration to improve SSM performance on long-context tasks over prior approximations like DeltaNet.
Kimi Linear hybridizes linear attention with a new KDA module to beat full attention on tasks while slashing KV cache by 75% and speeding decoding up to 6x.
An 8B Mamba-2-Hybrid with 43% Mamba-2, 7% attention, and 50% MLP layers exceeds an 8B Transformer by 2.65 points on average across 12 tasks and matches it on 23 long-context tasks while enabling up to 8x faster inference.
Toeplitz MLP Mixers replace attention with masked Toeplitz multiplications for sub-quadratic complexity while retaining more sequence information and outperforming on copying and in-context tasks.
TTT3R derives a closed-form learning rate from memory-observation alignment confidence to boost length generalization in RNN-based 3D reconstruction by 2x in global pose estimation.
