Exploring the impact of extreme depth on attention residual rankings

The tweet discusses information interaction between branches in hybrid architectures, arguing that despite no explicit Hres mixer, the read/write behavior of blocks essentially constitutes a form of mixing. A reply speculates on the effect of increasing network depth (e.g., 100+ layers) on rankings, noting that attention residual mechanisms might tip the scales at depth since they can fully pull information from early layers.
