MUDDFormer-2.8B is a pretrained language model on the Pile with 300B tokens, which uses a simple yet effective method to address the limitations of residual connections and enhance cross-layer information flow in Transformers. Please see downstrem evaluations and more details in the paper(MUDDFormer: Breaking Residual Bottlenecks in Transformers via Multiway Dynamic Dense Connections). In addition, we open-source Jax training code on (Github).

We recommend compiled version of MUDDFormer with torch.compile for inference acceleration. Please refer to Generation section for compile implementation.
