Who can review?

Comments:
@ArthurZucker I ran the test on a colab notebook with t4 gpu   but they failed did i do something wrong ? 

@vasqu So i did what you mentioned but i keep failing some test what do you think I did wrong ? 
 

Sry, got a bit late to it - hope the review can help clean stuff a bit 

@vasqu forgive me for the late reply but thanks for your help It seems that we have to also change some tests specifically  for since we refactor the attentions ,  for now I have just hard coded some stuff but will try to make it better some way 
but really thankful for your help ; ) 


@ArthurZucker I think this should be ready just to pass the fail test which I'm not sure why i failed that 

also I hard coded the `test_sdpa_can_dispatch_non_composite_models` in `tests/modeling_common.py` 
because It kept giving me errors even though  the model_sdpa.config._attn_implementation is sdpa 
The original check was already handling most cases, but I noticed that for some models, like gemma
they don’t use dedicated SDPA classes and rely on config._attn_implementation instead. So, I added this block to account for those:
```python 
if not has_sdpa:
    if model_sdpa.config.model_type in ["gemma", "xlm-roberta-xl"]:
        # These models use config._attn_implementation instead of dedicated SDPA classes
        self.assertEqual(model_sdpa.config._attn_implementation, "sdpa")
    elif model_sdpa.config.model_type not in ["falcon", "siglip", "hubert", "bert"]:
        raise ValueError("The SDPA model should have SDPA attention layers")


```
This ensures that models like gemma or xlm-roberta-xl pass as long as their config._attn_implementation is "sdpa", even if they don’t have explicit SDPA layers. For the others, it raises an error if SDPA attention isn’t being used where it should be.

It’s a bit of a hack, but with some models not yet fully refactored, this was the easiest way to get it working without breaking 
everything.


Not really sure how to handle this  
```python 
@require_torch_sdpa
    def test_sdpa_can_dispatch_non_composite_models(self):
        """
        Tests if non-composite models dispatch correctly on SDPA/eager when requested.

- [ ] Update the test_sdpa_can_dispatch_non_composite_models 


Will have a look in a but can you rebase now that #34896 was merged?! 

No its cool thanks for letting me know  😎 should i close this pull request then ?

Yep I don't think we need it anymore! 🤗
