Reproduces the paper's training objective closely:
L = distill + reg_weight * L1(alpha) + ce_weight * CE(student_logits, labels)
distill = MSE(h_full, h_mix) on label positions
h_full = forward with alpha = 1 everywhere (pure global attention)
h_mix = forward with the currently learned alpha (blend global + streaming)
The CE anchor term defaults to 0 (paper-grade DuoAttention). It is required
when --unfreeze_attn_proj is set, because once the backbone is trainable the
distill objective degenerates: the teacher (alpha=1 forward) is rebuilt from
the same drifting backbone, so distill becomes self-distillation against a
moving target and admits collapse solutions where h_full ≡ h_mix but both
generate garbled tokens. CE pins the backbone to "predicting labels under
mix attention" and prevents that drift; see docs §9.4.4.
Data: synthetic multi-passkey retrieval on PaulGrahamEssays haystack,
ported from duo-attention/duo_attn/data.py::MultiplePasskeyRetrievalDataset.
Trainable params:
- default : 224 alpha scalars (28 layers * 8 kv_heads on Qwen3-0.6B).
- --unfreeze_attn_proj : alphas + q/k/v/o_proj weights of every layer
(Setting B; sink-ablation experiment).
Use `attn_implementation="eager"` or "sdpa" — no flash-attn dependency.
