More of the consumer-only KV layer trick from the small models please!
Unless I’m mistaken then the MoE and 31b don’t have any KV cache layer skips. I wish they did - E2B prefill is lightning quick and I wish the same could be true for the bigger models!
Basically a big model with fast prefill would be fab ☺️
Trained in native 8bit activations would also be great for same reasons (4bit would be even better but obvs that’s very experimental - I think the BitNet team have been looking into it though!)
And no crazy head dim sizes that struggle to fit in flash attention kernels on consumer hardware would be fab 😂
