RWKV: Reinventing RNNs for the Transformer Era

Paper summary

RWKV combines time-based recurrent mixing with a formulation supporting parallel training. It aims for constant per-step inference state and computation while retaining language-model capability at scale.

Relevance to the project

An architecture comparison for efficient stateful mechanisms. Distinguish parallelism over neurons from the source's parallel training over sequence positions.

Language modelsSequence modelingEfficient inference

Constant per-token inference cost assumes a fixed model and state size.
