- Model description: TinyLlama 1.1B with K/32 softmax attention heads replaced by FAVOR+ linear attention, fine-tuned via knowledge distillation
- Intended use: Research — evaluating quality/speed/approximation trade-offs of linear attention substitution
- How to load: code snippet showing how to reconstruct MixedPerformerAttention and load the checkpoint
- Training details: WikiText-103, 20k samples, SEQ_LEN=256, distillation loss, 4-phase curriculum
- Results table: same as the README (ppl per phase)
- Limitations: Phase 4 (32/32 heads) collapsed — not suitable for inference. Phase 2 is the recommended checkpoint.
