Attention-free architecture shows promise in language generation and scaling

A new research paper, "Kathleen Writes: Autoregressive Generation and Data Scaling Without Attention," explores an attention-free architecture for language modeling. The study demonstrates that this architecture can match strong baselines in classification tasks and shows promise in generation. The paper introduces a new metric called FORM DISTANCE for evaluating text quality and suggests that decoding policies significantly impact generation performance, even more than architectural changes.
