## StripedHyena-Hessian-7B (SH-7B)


### Model Architecture

StripedHyena is a hybrid architecture composed of multi-head, grouped-query attention and gated convolutions arranged in [Hyena](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.10866) blocks, different from traditional decoder-only Transformers.  
  - Costant memory decoding in Hyena blocks via representation of convolutions as state-space models (modal or canonical form), or as truncated filters.
  - Lower latency to preprocess long prompts.
  - Improvements to training and inference compute-optimal scaling laws, compared to Transformers.
