What
This PR adds a research experiment for Attention Residuals on Qwen3-30A3B:
playground/research/attn_res/qwen3_30a3b_attn_res.pyattn_res_mode = "none" | "full" | "block"attn_res_num_blocksQwenModelImplementation notes
2 * num_layersPP=1VPP=1pseudo_queryparameter is marked so its gradients are synchronized across the TP groupDocs
The new experiment file starts with a short module doc that summarizes:
Validation
Local checks performed:
cfshowconfig inspection.venv/bin/torchrunScratch smoke runs after init cleanup were finite:
seq_len=256: finite loss / grad normseq_len=1024: finite loss / grad normKnown limitations
Extra
