Chart maps attention mechanisms across recent open-weight models, from sliding window to DeltaNet

burny_tech · x · 2026-11-08

A detailed infographic by @dizzee breaks down the attention architectures of recent open-weight models across the US, China and others: MAI-Base-2 (2.8T total / 80B active, 17 global + 85 SWA), Inkling, Muse Spark Open, NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL (Mamba-2 hybrid), gpt-oss-120b, Kimi K3.1 Pro (sparse + KDA), Qwen3.8 2.4T (DeltaNet), GLM-5.3, DeepSeek-V4.1, MiMo V2.6 Pro and Mistral Large 4. Each entry is annotated with token-mixing layer composition, global/sliding-window/sparse/linear attention ratios and active parameter counts — a rare side-by-side reference for comparing architectural trade-offs.
