Dynamic Short Convolutions Improve Transformers

arXiv:2606. 03825v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers have become the dominant architecture for large language models, largely due to the scalability and flexibility of attention, feed-forward layers, residual connections, and normalization.

Do Value Vectors in Deep Layers Need Context from the Residual Stream?

The paper investigates whether deep transformer layers require context from the residual stream to compute value vectors. It finds that allowing deeper layers to use a context‑free value vector—preserving original token information—significantly improves performance, and adding context afterward yields little extra benefit. The authors introduce Bank of Values (BoV), a lookup table of token‑specific value vectors for the last third of layers, which reduces compute and memory while matching or surpassing prior methods on large models.
