jax-softmax-bypass: Bypassing Transformer Softmax via Static Contraction
First seen · 9/12/2026, 06:36 AMLatest activity · 9/12/2026, 06:36 AM
Efforts to remove the computational and memory overhead of standard Softmax attention continue to yield experimental architectures. This open-source JAX project implements a static contraction approach designed to bypass Softmax normalization inside Transformer layers. While presenting an alternative path toward lower activation overhead, the repository currently acts as an early-stage prototype whose stability and scaling properties on standard language benchmarks remain unverified.
