The third 768 features of the fused projection are the values: read them as 12 heads of 64.

Direct evidence

A block normalizes, modulates by the time condition’s shift and scale, projects to queries, keys and values, rotates queries and keys, attends over all positions with softcap, and adds the projected output scaled by a gate; the MLP branch does the same with its own shift, scale and gate.
