# RADLADS: Rapid Attention Distillation to Linear Attention Decoders at Scale

**RADLADS** (Rapid Attention Distillation to Linear Attention Decoders at Scale) introduces a novel protocol for rapidly converting softmax attention transformers into linear attention decoder models. This highly efficient process requires only 350-700 million tokens of distillation, which is less than 0.005% of the token count used to train the original teacher models.
|
| 14 |
+
|
| 15 |
+
This repository provides the **RADRWKV7Qwen2.5-7B** model, a converted version from Qwen2.5. The RADLADS approach maintains quality remarkably close to the original transformer while achieving state-of-the-art downstream performance for linear attention models of their size. It enables significantly faster inference due to its constant-time inference per token.

## ✨ Key Highlights
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
* **Efficient & Cost-Effective Conversion**: Converts large softmax attention transformers to linear attention models with minimal additional training tokens. Converting a 72B model costs less than $2,000 USD.
|
| 24 |
+
* **Quality Preservation**: Models converted using RADLADS maintain quality remarkably close to the original teacher transformer models.
|
| 25 |
+
* **State-of-the-Art Performance**: These models achieve state-of-the-art downstream performance across standard benchmarks for linear attention models of their size.
|
| 26 |
+
* **Faster Inference**: Leverages linear attention for constant-time inference per token, significantly boosting decoding speed.
|
| 27 |
+
* **New Architectures**: Introduces new RWKV-variant architectures (RAD-RWKV6 and RAD-RWKV7) optimized for linear attention.

## How to use
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
This model is compatible with the Hugging Face `transformers` library. Ensure `trust_remote_code=True` is set when loading the model due to custom architecture components.
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
### Text Generation
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
```python

| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
model_name = "recursal/RADRWKV7Qwen2.5-7B" # This model
|
| 40 |
+
|
| 41 |
+
# Load model and tokenizer
|

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(

)

# Prepare input

|
| 59 |

eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
|
| 60 |
+
pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id, # Or set to a specific pad_token_id if available
|
| 61 |
+
)
|
| 62 |
+
|
| 63 |
+
# Decode output
|
| 64 |
