Transformer Alternatives (mostly SSMs)

• retnet

• GitHub - BlinkDL/RWKV-LM: RWKV is an RNN with transformer-level LLM performance. It can be directly trained like a GPT (parallelizable). So it’s combining the best of RNN and transformer - great performance, fast inference, saves VRAM, fast training, “infinite” ctx_len, and free sentence embedding.

  • GitHub - BlinkDL/ChatRWKV: ChatRWKV is like ChatGPT but powered by RWKV (100% RNN) language model, and open source.
