star history
TokenFormer replaces fixed linear projection layers with a parameter-efficient attention mechanism that treats model parameters as learnable tokens. This allows the same architecture to scale computations and model parameters jointly through a unified attention framework. The implementation supports training from scratch and provides pre-trained checkpoints for foundation model applications.
