Explanation
Dropout follows the softmax (modeling_deepseek.py 837–839); the configuration sets attention_dropout to 0.0, so it changes nothing.

Direct evidence
The rotary parts are rotated; each head’s query and key join their non-rotated and rotated parts, the key’s rotated part being the shared rotary key; scores are scaled, masked by the causal mask, normalized and used to mix values.

MLA owns a query down-projection, query RMSNorm and up-projection, a joint key–value down-projection that also emits the shared rotary key, a latent RMSNorm, a key–value up-projection and an output projection.
