Notes - DeltaFormer attention is implemented with Triton kernels in `fla.ops.deltaformer` and is tuned for typical head dimensions (e.g., 64/128). It currently supports fixed-length inputs. - For variable-length inputs (padding masks), the deltaformer computation falls back to using the fixed-length path, while the second stage (softmax attention over U) uses FlashAttention's varlen path when an attention mask is provided. - K/V grouping (GQA) is supported natively by FlashAttention via `num_kv_heads`. - Uses K-K similarity in deltaformer computation instead of Q-K similarity for better performance. Args: hidden_size (int, Optional): The hidden size of the input. Default: 2048. num_heads (int, Optional): The number of attention heads. Default: 32. num_kv_heads (int, Optional): The number of key/value heads for grouped-query attention. If None, equals `num_heads`. Default: None. qkv_bias (bool, Optional): Whether to use bias for Q/K/V projections. Default: False. qk_norm (bool, Optional): Whether to apply per-head RMSNorm to Q and K before attention. Default: False. rope_theta (float, Optional): The base frequency for rotary position embedding. Default: 10000. max_position_embeddings (int, Optional): The maximum position embeddings. Default: None. layer_idx (int, Optional): The index of the layer (used for cache compatibility). Default: None.
