jm_alexia · x · 2026-08-31
While trying to optimize LoLCATs (Lin-attention + SWA) to reduce memory usage, the author found that the model performance did not improve. Investigation revealed that removing the linear attention component and keeping only SWA yielded similar results, indicating that the linear attention was effectively doing nothing.
