# HRWKV7-hxa079-Qwen3-8B
|
5 |
+
|
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.
|

+
- **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
|

## 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
