Improve model card: Add pipeline tag, library, paper, code, and usage
Browse filesThis PR enhances the model card for `HRWKV7-hxa079-Qwen3-8B` by:
* **Adding Metadata:** Included `pipeline_tag: text-generation` to ensure better discoverability on the Hugging Face Hub, and `library_name: transformers` to enable the "how to use" widget, as the model is compatible with the Transformers library via `trust_remote_code=True`.
* **Prominent Links:** Added direct links to the associated paper ([RADLADS: Rapid Attention Distillation to Linear Attention Decoders at Scale](https://huggingface.co/papers/2505.03005)) and the main GitHub repository ([https://github.com/recursal/RADLADS](https://github.com/recursal/RADLADS)) at the top of the card. The existing code links within the "Thank you" and "Training Code" sections have been clarified.
* **Sample Usage:** Provided a correct `transformers`-based code snippet for text generation, guiding users on how to run inference with the model.
* **Citation:** Added the BibTeX citation from the paper's repository.
These changes improve the model's visibility, usability, and provide more comprehensive information for users and researchers.

### Model Description
|
13 |
|
14 |
HRWKV7-Qwen3-8N-Preview is an RNN hybrid architecture model that combines RWKV v7's linear attention mechanism with Group Query Attention (GQA) layers. Built upon the Qwen3-8B foundation, this model replaces most Transformer attention blocks with RWKV blocks while strategically maintaining some GQA layers to enhance performance on specific tasks.
|
15 |
|
16 |
+
- **Developed by:** OpenMOSE
|
17 |
+
- **Model type:** Hybrid Linear-Attention Language Model
|
18 |
+
- **Language(s):** Multilingual (inherited from Qwen3-8B)
|
19 |
+
- **License:** Apache-2.0
|
20 |
+
- **Base Model:** Qwen3-8B
|
21 |
+
- **Year:** 2025
|
22 |
|
23 |
### Architecture Specifications
|
24 |
|
25 |
+
- **Architecture:** RWKV v7 based "hxa079" Architecture + Group Query Attention Hybrid
|
26 |
+
- **Total Layers:** 36 layers (L36D4096)
|
27 |
+
- 32 RWKV layers (with Rope)
|
28 |
+
- 4 GQA layers (No Rope, No Position Embeddings)
|
29 |
+
- **Hidden Dimension:** 4096
|
30 |
+
- **Training Context Window:** 4096 tokens
|
31 |
+
- **Inference Context Window** 16384+
|
32 |
+
- **Training Strategy** Following RADLADS method based knowledge distillation
|
33 |
|
34 |
## Technical Innovation
|
35 |
|
|
|
37 |
|
38 |
The model implements several key improvements over original RWKV architectures:
|
39 |
|
40 |
+
1. **Token Shift Removal**: In order to effectively inherit the teacher model weights, we removed the residual connection one token ago.
|
41 |
+
2. **GroupNorm Removal**: Helps improve training stability issues
|
42 |
+
3. **k_first Introduction**: Experimentally adopted the approach of residually connecting k layers in layer 0.
|
43 |
|
44 |
### Hybrid Design Benefits
|
45 |
|
46 |
+
- **Linear Attention Inference**: RWKV blocks enable O(1) memory complexity during inference, and the hybrid approach reduces the KVCache to 1/9 of full GQA.
|
47 |
+
- **Enhanced Needle Tasks**: Strategic placement of GQA layers significantly improves performance on needle-in-haystack retrieval tasks, addressing a known limitation of pure linear attention models
|
48 |
+
- **Implicit Position Encoding**: Interestingly, the model achieves better performance when RoPE (Rotary Position Embedding) is not applied to GQA layers, suggesting that RWKV blocks provide implicit positional encoding capabilities
|
49 |
|
50 |
## Intended Use
|
51 |
|
52 |
This is an **experimental research model** designed to explore hybrid architectures combining linear and quadratic attention mechanisms. It is intended for:
|
53 |
|
54 |
+
- Research into efficient attention mechanisms
|
55 |
+
- Benchmarking hybrid architecture performance
|
56 |
+
- Exploring linear attention limitations and solutions
|
57 |
+
- Academic and industrial R&D purposes
|
58 |
|
59 |
## Limitations
|
60 |
|
61 |
+
- **Experimental Status**: This model is in experimental stages and may exhibit unexpected behaviors
|
62 |
+
- **Context Window**: Limited to 4096 tokens during training, though RWKV architecture theoretically supports longer sequences
|
63 |
+
- **Performance Variability**: As a hybrid model, performance may vary significantly across different task types
|
64 |
|
65 |
## Training Details
|
66 |
|
67 |
+
- **Training Context Window:** 4096 tokens
|
68 |
+
- **Training GPU** AMD MI300X x 1(takes 80hrs) Runpod
|
69 |
+
- **Training Strategy** 8bit MLP Quant, frozen emb,mlp,head, Deepspeed Stage1, Stage1 100M, Stage2 360M
|
70 |
+
- **Base Model Initialization:** Weights initialized from Qwen3-8B
|
71 |
+
- **Architecture Conversion:** Transformer attention blocks systematically replaced with RWKV blocks, except for 6 strategically placed GQA layers
|
72 |
|
73 |
## Evaluation
|
74 |
|
75 |
Performance evaluation is ongoing. The model shows promising results in:
|
76 |
+
- Maintaining base model capabilities while achieving linear attention efficiency
|
77 |
+
- Significantly improved needle-in-haystack task performance compared to pure RWKV architectures
|
78 |
+
- Competitive performance on standard language modeling benchmarks
|
79 |
+
|
80 |
+
## Sample Usage
|
81 |
+
|
82 |
+
You can use this model with the Hugging Face `transformers` library. Ensure you have `trust_remote_code=True` set, as it uses a custom architecture.
|
83 |
|
84 |
+
```python
|
85 |
+
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
|
86 |
+
import torch
|
87 |
+
|
88 |
+
model_name = "OpenMOSE/HRWKV7-hxa079-Qwen3-8B" # The name of this model
|
89 |
+
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
|
90 |
+
model_name,
|
91 |
+
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, # Or torch.float16, depending on your system and model precision
|
92 |
+
device_map="auto",
|
93 |
+
trust_remote_code=True,
|
94 |
+
)
|
95 |
+
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
|
96 |
+
|
97 |
+
prompt = "Tell me a short story about a brave knight named Sir Reginald."
|
98 |
+
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
|
99 |
+
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, top_k=50, top_p=0.95, temperature=0.7)
|
100 |
+
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
|
101 |
+
```
