i14's Laplace 3B linear attention model trained and served on AWS Trainium2

i14 has developed Laplace 3B, a linear attention model that maintains a fixed-size recurrent state, unlike traditional transformer models whose key-value cache grows with context length. This innovation allows for more efficient handling of long conversations or documents, benefiting applications like AI agents. i14 collaborated with AWS to adapt Laplace 3B for AWS Trainium2, utilizing native PyTorch support via TorchNeuron Native for its Gated Linear Attention (GLA) design and Muon optimizer. The adapted model achieved significant performance metrics, training at approximately 120,000 tokens per second and serving 11,544 output tokens per second across 1,280 concurrent sequences on a single instance. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient handling of long contexts for AI agents and applications requiring persistent memory.
