Contextual evidence from LayerNorm

The denoiser’s and the token decoder’s LayerNorm computes in float32 and owns a gain and no bias.

Contextual evidence from Query, key and value projection

A block owns two gain-only LayerNorms, a fused query–key–value projection and an output projection without bias, an MLP of the configured kind, and, with modulation, an affine layer from the time condition to six vectors, initialized at zero.

Contextual evidence from Query, key and value projection

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.
