AI model explores quaternion math for attention transformer architecture

A user explored the possibility of using quaternion algebra for attention transformers, conversing with a local Gemma 4:26b model. The model suggested it might be feasible and offer benefits, but warned that the inherent trigonometric functions in quaternion multiplication would make training at scale extremely difficult. This exploration highlights creative approaches to transformer architecture design. AI
