DASH: Fast Differentiable Architecture Search for Hybrid Attention in Minutes on a Single GPU
Researchers have developed DASH, a novel framework for efficiently designing hybrid attention architectures in large language models. This differentiable approach significantly speeds up the architecture search process, reducing the computational cost from billions of tokens to just millions. DASH outperforms existing methods and even surpasses models like Jet-Nemotron in certain benchmarks, all within minutes on a single GPU. AI
