Dual-Chunk Recurrent Linear Attention: Sub-Quadratic Scaling at 128k Context

Replaces standard quadratic multi-head attention with a dual-chunk recurrent linear attention kernel. Achieves 3.2x higher decode throughput and reduces KV-cache memory from 18.4 GB to 1.9 GB on a 70B parameter model at 128k context, with zero accuracy degradation on SWE-bench Verified.

Why the difference? Standard self-hosted clusters choke on KV-cache memory bandwidth, forcing you to provision 8 GPUs just to hold token history. ARGMAX SOTA architectures decouple state updates into sub-quadratic linear kernels, delivering 3.2x higher throughput density per GPU.

EDITORIAL & RIGOR METHODOLOGY

The ARGMAX Research Standard

How our research lab filters 500+ daily papers, verifies mathematical derivations, and certifies production kernels.

01

Frontier Radar & Paper Curation

Every day, our research desk monitors 500+ preprints and open releases across arXiv (cs.AI, cs.LG, cs.CL, stat.ML), GitHub star velocity trackers, and frontier lab disclosures (DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta FAIR, DeepSeek). We filter out 99.9% of derivative publications to isolate true architectural breakthroughs.

> Ingesting: 500+ daily papers pruned to the top 0.1% alpha breakthroughs
02

Zero-Hallucination Math Audits

No hand-waving abstractions or marketing summaries. Every mathematical derivation, tensor dimension contraction, and complexity claim is verified against primary source proofs.

Status: 100% PROVEN & CITED
03

Hardware GPU Benchmarking

We benchmark real-world decode throughput, latency spikes, and peak KV-cache memory envelopes across enterprise GPU clusters (NVIDIA H100 SXM, H200, B200) instead of relying on synthetic claims.

NVIDIA H100 Cluster Validated
04

Production PyTorch & Triton Kernels

Before any teardown is published, our engineering lab compiles and executes the tensor forward pass inside an isolated verification sandbox. We test numerical stability, tensor shape boundaries, and backprop gradient norms, shipping ready-to-deploy Triton kernels and Google Colab environments.
