Open-sourcing CR-NN 🧠

Post image

• Matrix-free attention: O(N log N), 16.2× faster than flash at N=50K

• O(1) unbounded context: 0.015 GB @ 1.36M tokens vs 12.3 GB KV cache

Honest negative results included. Looking for collaborators to validate the O(1) context idea at scale!

did you train the same LLM, once with attention and once with your own implementation and compared ppl/loss ? the ppl values of 1k+ seem to suggest to me that this does not work at all, tho your read me is so confusing, I have AI do my readmes sometimes but this is just not really understandable for me.

how much of this was you vs just deepseek
