Unlocking Feature Learning in Gated Delta Networks at Scale
Training and scaling Large Language Models demand enormous computational resources, motivating both efficient sub-quadratic architectures and principled hyperparameter tuning methods. While the Maximal Update Parametrization ($μ$P) has enabled zero-shot hyperparameter transfer for standard Transformers, its extension to linear models, particularly those with structured state transitions and complicated architectures, remains largely unexplored. By rigorously propagating coordinate-size estimates through the forward pass, gating mechanisms, and recurrent state dynamics, we derive the scaling rules for Gated Delta Network. Experiments on language-model pre-training confirm that our configurations enable stable learning-rate transfer across model widths under both AdamW and SGD, whereas standard parametrization fails to transfer, validating the correctness and practical utility of our analysis.

Linear attention replaces the unbounded cache of softmax attention with a fixed-size recurrent state, reducing sequence mixing to linear time and decoding to constant memory. The hard part is not just what to forget, but…
TreeWY: Speculative Verification for Gated DeltaNet Hybrids
Modern open models are hybrids: most layers are linear-attention (Gated DeltaNet, GDN) layers carrying a small fixed-size recurrent state instead of a growing key-value (KV) cache. This makes ordinary decoding memory-eff…
