Recent research explores the intricacies of Transformer models, focusing on their energy consumption, internal linear properties, and training dynamics. One paper introduces a scaling model to predict energy usage during fine-tuning, inspired by roofline models and incorporating parallelism effects. Another study investigates the linearity of Transformer feed-forward blocks, revealing that this property is learned rather than architectural, with significant variation across layers. A third paper analyzes Transformer layers through a continuous-depth mean field control perspective, linking cross-entropy training to optimal control problems. Additionally, explorations delve into how fine-tuning might affect a Transformer's "copy mechanism" and provide deep dives into the components of a Transformer block, such as self-attention and feed-forward networks.
