Contextual evidence from Split content heads

Queries are produced from the normalized query latent and split into a non-rotated and a rotated part.

Contextual evidence from Join query parts

The rotary parts are rotated; the normalized latent and the rotated key are what the cache stores; each head joins its content and rotary parts; the indexer’s selection becomes a mask that sets unselected positions to the dtype’s most negative value on top of the causal mask; attention is scaled dot-product attention with a float32 softmax.
