An SLM trained on $8 ESP32-S3

Carloscodix/qapla is a char-level transformer model trained from scratch on an $8 ESP32-S3 chip, capable of running the full training loop with backpropagation implemented in C. This project demonstrates that training a model does not always require expensive GPUs or datacenters, as a low-cost microcontroller can suffice.

Do transformers need three projections? Systematic study of QKV variants

Transformers utilize a query, key, and value (QKV) attention formulation that is crucial for AI tasks. The study investigates the individual contributions of these three projections and the effects of omitting any of them.

Soul Player C64 – A real transformer running on a 1 MHz Commodore 64

A transformer model with approximately 25,000 parameters is implemented on an unmodified Commodore 64, utilizing hand-written 6502/6510 assembly. This 2-layer decoder-only architecture features real multi-head causal self-attention, softmax, and RMSNorm, and can be loaded from a floppy disk.

Attention Residuals

Attention Residuals (AttnRes) serves as a drop-in replacement for standard residual connections in Transformers, allowing each layer to selectively aggregate earlier representations. It includes two variants: Full AttnRes, where each layer attends over all previous outputs, and Block AttnRes, which groups layers into blocks to reduce memory usage from O(Ld) to O(Nd).

FORTH? Really!?Opinion

FORTH?Β Really!?

FORTH and associative/applicative languages may be more suitable for transformer architectures than traditional top-down problem-solving methods. Generating outputs before their constituent parts could enhance the effectiveness of large language models.

Attention at Constant Cost per Token via Symmetry-Aware Taylor Approximation

Self-attention mechanisms in Transformers typically incur costs that increase with context length, leading to higher demands for storage, compute, and energy. A new method using symmetry-aware Taylor approximation aims to maintain constant cost per token for self-attention, potentially alleviating these resource demands.
