Standard residual connections have been the "gradient highway" for every major LLM, but they have a hidden flaw: they treat every layer as equally important. In this video, we break down  Attention Residuals (AttnRes) , a new architecture from the Kimi Team that replaces fixed additive residuals with  learned, input-dependent softmax attention over the depth of the model. By treating the...
