Hello and welcome back to an article where we are going to discuss an architecture that had mixed impressions. Some called it brilliant and some of them said, “Nah, this ain’t no transformer!” The architecture I’m talking about is the Fastformer: Additive Attention can be all you need. As we all know by now, Transformers are quite inefficient while scaling up and we have seen a plethora of architectures that claim to mitigate this in their own ways.
