Infini-Attention Architecture(IAA)

Google's breakthrough infinite context processing with bounded memory and compressive attention mechanisms

Complexity: highContext Management

๐ŸŽฏ 30-Second Overview

Pattern: Google's breakthrough infinite context processing with bounded memory and compressive attention mechanisms

Why: Enables processing of arbitrarily long sequences with constant memory usage, breaking traditional context length limitations

Key Insight: Compressive memory with dual attention achieves infinite context capacity while maintaining O(1) memory complexity

โšก Quick Implementation

1Memory Module:Initialize compressive memory with bounded capacity
2Dual Attention:Implement local + compressive attention mechanisms
3Stream Processing:Enable continuous input processing with linear scaling
4Memory Updates:Update compressive memory with new information
5Infinite Context:Handle arbitrarily long sequences with O(1) memory
Example: init_memory โ†’ dual_attention โ†’ stream_input โ†’ update_memory โ†’ infinite_processing
