MiniCPM-SALA: Hybridizing Sparse and Linear Attention for Efficient Long-Context Modeling

Intermediate

MiniCPM Team, Wenhao An et al.Feb 12arXiv

MiniCPM-SALA is a 9B-parameter language model that mixes two kinds of attention—sparse and linear—to read very long texts quickly and accurately.

Hybrid Linear Attention Done Right: Efficient Distillation and Effective Architectures for Extremely Long Contexts

Intermediate

Yingfa Chen, Zhen Leng Thai et al.Jan 29arXiv

This paper shows how to turn a big Transformer model into a faster hybrid model that mixes attention and RNN layers using far less training data (about 2.3B tokens).

SALAD: Achieve High-Sparsity Attention via Efficient Linear Attention Tuning for Video Diffusion Transformer

Intermediate

Tongcheng Fang, Hanling Zhang et al.Jan 23arXiv

Videos are made of very long lists of tokens, and regular attention looks at every pair of tokens, which is slow and expensive.

Physics of Language Models: Part 4.1, Architecture Design and the Magic of Canon Layers

Intermediate

Zeyuan Allen-ZhuDec 19arXiv

The paper introduces Canon layers, tiny add-ons that let nearby words share information directly, like passing notes along a row of desks.

InfiniteVL: Synergizing Linear and Sparse Attention for Highly-Efficient, Unlimited-Input Vision-Language Models

Intermediate

Hongyuan Tao, Bencheng Liao et al.Dec 9arXiv

InfiniteVL is a vision-language model that mixes two ideas: local focus with Sliding Window Attention and long-term memory with a linear module called Gated DeltaNet.
