Transformer architecture explained: self-attention, RoPE, and FFNs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Transformer architecture, introduced in the "Attention Is All You Need" paper, is fundamental to modern Large Language Models (LLMs). Key components include self-attention, which calculates token relationships, and multi-head attention, allowing parallel processing of different relationship types. Positional encoding, such as Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) used in models like Llama and Mistral, is crucial for conveying token order, while feed-forward networks store factual knowledge and enhance expressiveness.
