Researcher questions whether multi-question decider models are architecturally misused

antoinechaffin shares his thinking on attention schemas for decider models, arguing we may not even be using these models properly: optimizing schemas for requests that should never have been forged that way may not be optimal. He questions whether any use case truly requires multiple questions at once — most could be single questions with multiple choices, or pointwise multi-label outputs with proper thresholds instead of a softmax — and contends that even multi-question setups could be served without state-question cross-attention if the state is constructed properly.
