Parameters
2,621,952 parameters per instance, across its learned components
| Component | Calculation | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Key–value projection | 2,621,440 | |
| Key–value RMSNorm | 512 | |
| Per-instance total | 2,621,952 | |
Derived from the pinned reference implementation and configuration; equal to the element counts of the checkpoint’s own tensors on the text path. The quantisation scales, the vision encoder and the DSpark blocks are not counted.
Explanation
There is one key–value head: no head has keys or values of its own (model.py 643; kernel.py 365, 380).

Direct evidence
Attention owns a low-rank query, one key–value projection, a learned sink per head, a grouped low-rank output, a ring buffer for the window, and, by the two source lists, a compressor and an indexer; layers that attend to compressed positions use the larger rotary base with YaRN.
