Maglev: New recurrent Transformer architecture improves efficiency

Researchers have introduced Maglev, a novel recurrent Transformer architecture designed to enhance efficiency and performance. Maglev utilizes a two-model system: a prefiller model that accesses full attention to generate memory targets, and a decoder model that employs sliding-window attention with recurrent key/value injection for next-token prediction. This architecture aims to generalize sliding-window attention while maintaining parallelizability during training, showing improved validation loss and downstream pretraining benchmarks compared to existing recurrent and sliding-window transformer baselines.

IMPACT Introduces a more efficient recurrent Transformer architecture that could improve training and inference for large language models.
