- Ring Attention with Blockwise Transformers for Near-Infinite Context. Evaluates maximum sequence length and model flops utilization on LLaMA 3B/7B/13B/30B. Benchmarks on GPUs (A100) and TPUs (v3/v4/v5e). Not directly TransMLA but related long-context attention efficiency research. Per arxiv.org.
- Attention Editing: A Versatile Framework for Cross-Architecture Attention Conversion. Evaluated inference performance on H800 and Ascend 910B using vLLM 0.16.0. Measures TTFT and output throughput under 3K/8K/16K input lengths. Qwen3-8B-MLA achieves 95.00% on GSM8K (thinking) vs 95.98% original. Comparable chat/reasoning recovery with <10B tokens. Per arxiv.org (2026-04-07).
- Attention Editing: A Versatile Framework for Cross-Architecture Attention Conversion. Practical framework for converting already-trained LLMs with new attention architectures. Cites TransMLA and MHA2MLA as related post-hoc conversion methods. Enables greater architectural changes applicable to chat and reasoning LLMs. Per arxiv.org (2026-04-07).
- TransMLA: Multi-Head Latent Attention Converter. Benchmarking tools for original vs MLA models. GPU warm-up for accurate testing. Faster convergence during fine-tuning, higher accuracy on benchmarks, better coding/math reasoning. Slight computation increase, <2% parameter increase. Per GitHub (bet0x/transmla-converter) (2025-02-25).
