In a niche architecture discussion, @rationaleist speculates the SOTA combination would likely be xHC over oHC in the linear attention branch and MSAR + MHAR in the quadratic branch, noting that both xHC and MSAR use multiscale convolutions for stream decorrelation — a fragmentary but noteworthy signal in attention-alternative architecture research.
