arXiv:2509. 10534v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The attention mechanism in a Transformer architecture matches key to query based on both content -- the what -- and position in a sequence -- the where.

arXiv:2510. 18315v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate how embedding dimension affects the emergence of an internal "world model" in a transformer trained with reinforcement learning to perform bubble-sort-style adjacent swaps.

arXiv:2607. 10134v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rotary Positional Encodings (RoPE) are currently the most popular positional encodings used in modern language models.

arXiv:2601. 22402v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rotary Positional Embeddings (RoPE) have become the standard for Large Language Models (LLMs) due to their ability to encode relative positions through geometric rotation.

arXiv:2607. 18759v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers with relative positional encodings often extrapolate to sequences longer than those seen during training, whereas transformers with learned absolute encodings typically do not.

arXiv:2606. 11275v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE) make attention scores position-relative but leave the value pathway position-blind: the message sent by a value token is the same regardless of its distance from the query.
