A neat intuition: sliding-window attention as a special case of linear attention
tokenbender · x · 2026-09-03
tokenbender shares a small architectural intuition: instead of arguing linear attention vs sliding-window attention (SWA), one can view SWA as a special case of modern linear attention methods — with help from a model to turn the intuition into a clean explainer.
