๐Ÿ“ฌ Final Note

If you feel that some linear or softmax models are missing from the Zoo, feel free to ping me and I will add them. A sample architecture block template is available โ€” create your modelโ€™s block in the same style and send it over. You can reach out on Twitter/X, DMs are open ๐Ÿ˜‰ @rshia_afz.

Also, the same recurrences and rollouts can be applied to the residual stream, resulting in Deep Delta Learning, gating, and attention residuals. Stay tuned, there will soon be another post, or an update to this one, covering upgrades to the residual stream as well.
