Observation on 1/d Attention Scaling
stochasticchasm · x · 2026-07-16
The post makes an apparently "novel" observation: attention might exhibit 1/d scaling due to QK norm being computed per head.
This is a research-oriented technical judgment, contributing to the discussion on the scaling laws of attention mechanisms, rather than announcing a product or model release.
