4 advanced attention mechanisms you should know:
• Slim attention — 8× less memory, 5× faster generation by storing only K from KV pairs and recomputing V.
• XAttention — 13.5× speedup on long sequences via "looking" at the sum of values along diagonal lines in the attention matrix.
• Kolmogorov-Arnold Attention, KArAt — Adaptable attention with learnable activation functions using KANs instead of softmax.
• Multi-token attention (MTA) — Lets the model consider groups of nearby words together for smarter long-context handling.
