6
+ ### Model Description
7
+
8
+ 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.
9
+
10
+ - **Developed by:** OpenMOSE
11
+ - **Model type:** Hybrid Linear-Attention Language Model
12
+ - **Language(s):** Multilingual (inherited from Qwen3-8B)
13
+ - **License:** Apache-2.0
14
+ - **Base Model:** Qwen3-8B
15
+ - **Year:** 2025
16
+
17
+ ### Architecture Specifications
18
+
19
+ - **Architecture:** RWKV v7 based "hxa079" Architecture + Group Query Attention Hybrid
20
+ - **Total Layers:** 36 layers (L36D4096)
21
+ - 32 RWKV layers (with Rope)
22
+ - 4 GQA layers (No Rope, No Position Embeddings)
23
+ - **Hidden Dimension:** 4096
24
+ - **Training Context Window:** 4096 tokens
25
+ - **Inference Context Window** 16384+
26
+ - **Training Strategy** Following RADLADS method based knowledge distillation
27

28
+ ## Technical Innovation
29
+
30
+ ### RWKV "hxa079" Architecture
31
+
32
+ The model implements several key improvements over original RWKV architectures:
33
+
34
+ 1. **Token Shift Removal**: In order to effectively inherit the teacher model weights, we removed the residual connection one token ago.
35
+ 2. **GroupNorm Removal**: Helps improve training stability issues
36
+ 3. **k_first Introduction**: Experimentally adopted the approach of residually connecting k layers in layer 0.
37
+
38
+ ### Hybrid Design Benefits
39
+
40
+ - **Linear Attention Inference**: RWKV blocks enable O(1) memory complexity during inference, and the hybrid approach reduces the KVCache to 1/7 of full GQA.
41
+ - **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
42
+ - **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
43
+
44
+ ## Intended Use
45
+
46
+ This is an **experimental research model** designed to explore hybrid architectures combining linear and quadratic attention mechanisms. It is intended for:
47
+
48
+ - Research into efficient attention mechanisms
49
+ - Benchmarking hybrid architecture performance
50
+ - Exploring linear attention limitations and solutions
51
+ - Academic and industrial R&D purposes
52
+
53
+ ## Limitations
54
+
55
+ - **Experimental Status**: This model is in experimental stages and may exhibit unexpected behaviors
56
+ - **Context Window**: Limited to 4096 tokens during training, though RWKV architecture theoretically supports longer sequences
57
+ - **Performance Variability**: As a hybrid model, performance may vary significantly across different task types
58
+
59
+ ## Training Details
60
+
61
+ - **Training Context Window:** 4096 tokens
62
+ - **Training GPU** AMD MI300X x 1(takes 80hrs) Runpod
63
+ - **Training Strategy** 8bit MLP Quant, frozen emb,mlp,head, Deepspeed Stage1, Stage1 100M, Stage2 360M
64
+ - **Base Model Initialization:** Weights initialized from Qwen3-8B
65
+ - **Architecture Conversion:** Transformer attention blocks systematically replaced with RWKV blocks, except for 6 strategically placed GQA layers
66
+
67
+ ## Evaluation
68
+
69
+ Performance evaluation is ongoing. The model shows promising results in:
70
+ - Maintaining base model capabilities while achieving linear attention efficiency
71
+ - Significantly improved needle-in-haystack task performance compared to pure RWKV architectures
72
+ - Competitive performance on standard language modeling benchmarks
