What changed
Used dilated attention with exponentially growing receptive fields and sequence-partitioned execution to reduce long-sequence attention computation and communication.
Scientific scope
Used dilated attention with exponentially growing receptive fields and sequence-partitioned execution to reduce long-sequence attention computation and communication. Billion-token evidence is distributed forward-runtime feasibility, not a trained model demonstrating billion-token reasoning or end-to-end learning quality. Sparse attention is not exact dense attention; scaling depends on the stated device/data layout.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. Billion-token evidence is distributed forward-runtime feasibility, not a trained model demonstrating billion-token reasoning or end-to-end learning quality. Sparse attention is not exact dense attention; scaling depends on the stated device/data layout.
