The AlephLM results are rolling in and I'm very excited for the possibilities. I am very much looking forward to the coming weeks as I train the first AlephLM distillations from MANY teachers into AMOE arms.

The AMOE arms hook cleanly to AlephLM structures and provide pos/neg learning elements. Hard positive and hard negatives coalesce to extend the capacity.

As it stands they are structurally sound enough to fully pretrain. As or more stable than a standard Bert experimentally to distill using InfoNCE. AMOE legs improve these structures substantially.

Structural behavior can be expanded in many ways on distilled and pretrained models alike. Attaching the AMOE to any model I've tried has created expanded or improved behavioral accumulations. They do have downsides but their upsides are very experimentally exciting.

I've distilled multiple vits, multiple berts, and have begun distilling berts into AlephLM structures successfully.

This is overall very exciting for me. I've begun formatting larger variants such as including GPT-2 and Qwen 3.5 4b as a paired combinator utilizing pathological T5 learned distilled encodings. It sounds odd, but the results show everything can be expanded and even be taught to cooperate.

The CaptionBert-8192-v2 and v2-b are both structurally collapsing after token 480 or so, which is expected due to the small train. By distilling an AMOE arm to V2 by training with a longformer expert, the results are cutting through like butter. V2 has begun stabilizing rapidly for considerably longer token chains and sequences, the structure is repairing and building reusable capacity.

I have discovered an improved methodology for sampling the AlephLM for text encoder benchmarks, which is predominantly L2 normalized outputs.

Upcoming large paper for the distillation experiments and results within the next week or two. It's going to be a big one.

I have found a potentially valid attention mechanism that utilizes the leverage that Aleph Addressing presents, and I have yet to accurately capture until now. I assert, that this addressing and anchoring, presents a hugely increased amount of opinions beyond the current spectrum of explored opinions with shared heads.

I dub this attention, Splat Attention. Rorschach splatted differentiated experts, each codebook stacked adjacently, formatted with a methodology of sliding window attention for long context formats. They exist to each have their own view of the same take, and to weigh their views into the outcomes. This allows thousands of codebooks to represent opinions, rather than just one or a few.

Will it work? Yes. Will it work as well as MHA? Probably not. Not yet anyway.

It will at least allow KV caching to exist, while simultaneously enable greater than 8192 depth through a format of utilizable aleph routed attention, specifically curated to align differentiated viewpoints from different codebooks, all represented along the same axis of utilizable space.

The attention mechanism will potentially allow differentiated spaces of 2048 aleph attention heads stacked in unilateral simultaneous execution, which operate exceedingly effectively in preliminary tests - defeating token recall on the tested local and mha heads by a large amount.

What I cannot promise or even say will work yet with certainty, is the depth. The preliminary formulas are converging cleanly and the recall is absolutely fantastic, but that does not mean they will converge yet. This may be the attention that replaces the MHA in these models, and hopefully tonight will have the answer.

Prototype is set up with a speed check attached to the demo.

As per the experiments successes and failures, rotary is now applied to the address space allowing full codebook differentiation through training pressure. The code for the splat attention is very small and efficient, but the efficiency can be improved with some elbow grease. The readability can definitely be improved.

Lets see if the depth capacity holds up or if the model collapses.
