14. Kimi Linear: An Expressive, Efficient Attention Architecture (arxiv.org)
We pretrain a Kimi Linear model with 3B activated parameters and 48B total parameters, based on a layerwise hybrid of KDA and Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA). Our experiments show that with an identical training recipe, Kimi Linear outperforms full MLA with a sizeable margin across all evaluated tasks, while reducing KV cache usage by up to 75% and achieving up to 6 times decoding throughput for a 1M context. These results demonstrate that Kimi Linear can be a drop-in replacement for full attention architectures with superior performance and efficiency, including tasks with longer input and output lengths.
To support further research, we open-source the KDA kernel and vLLM implementations, and release the pre-trained and instruction-tuned model checkpoints.
Kimi Linear is a new attention architecture that surpasses traditional full attention models in multiple scenarios, including both short and long contexts as well as reinforcement learning tasks. Central to its design is the Kimi Delta Attention module, which enhances memory efficiency through an innovative gating mechanism.
