Understanding the Quadratic Cost of Autoregressive Models

Background Autoregressive models generate sequences by predicting the next token in the sequence based on previous tokens. In each step of generation, the model processes the sequence up to the current token to predict the next one. Problem Statement The statement in question is:"This autoregressive nature of the Decode stage contributes to longer processing times, … Continue reading Understanding the Quadratic Cost of Autoregressive Models
