Explanation

The implementation rotates consecutive feature pairs, as attention does (modeling_glm_moe_dsa.py 232), and the configuration’s indexer_rope_interleave agrees. The output lists the rotated first features of all pairs, then the second (156–160).

Direct evidence

Indexer queries and the shared key rotate their first 64 features with interleaved RoPE; scores are the ReLU of scaled query–key products in float32, weighted per head by the head weights divided by √32 and summed; the causal mask is added and the top 2,048 positions are kept. There is no Hadamard transform, and it runs without gradients.

Interleaved RoPE rotates consecutive feature pairs (x0, x1), (x2, x3), … by one frequency each; attention and the indexer both call it.
