Exotic Hybrid Mamba Models Could Be Distilled Into Minimalist Attention Shapes
kalomaze · x · 2026-07-30
An AI researcher proposes a hypothesis that today's exotic hybrid Mamba or hybrid linear architecture models might be relatively easy to distill down to the simplest possible hybrid shape. This minimalist architecture would consist of just a couple of full attention layers, while the vast majority of layers would not, potentially reducing computational complexity while maintaining performance.
