The paper introduces Cubit, a Transformer‑style architecture that replaces the standard attention mechanism with Kernel Ridge Regression (KRR). By interpreting attention as Nadaraya‑Watson regression, Cubit incorporates the closed‑form KRR solution, combining kernel‑based value aggregation with normalization via the inverse kernel matrix. The authors also propose a Limited‑Range Rescale (LRR) to stabilize training and report that Cubit shows improved long‑sequence modeling, with gains increasing as training sequence length grows.

Switching Linear Attention (SwiLA) is a new sequence layer that improves upon standard softmax attention by maintaining a fixed-size recurrent state while enhancing representational capacity. It derives its recurrence from a test-time regression framework, using online expectation-maximization in a mixture of linear regressions model. In various benchmarks—including associative recall, in-context language learning, and language modeling—SwiLA achieves strong performance, narrowing the gap to softmax attention and even surpassing it in some settings.
