A Unifying View of Attention Sinks: From Mechanisms to Architectural Interventions

Lukas Fesser, Lukas Fesser*, Mozes Jacobs* +5

When attention concentrates on a single token, a sink, what is the model actually computing? Attention sinks are ubiquitous in softmax transformers, yet this shared visual signatur…
