Definition. KDA model-instance record [ftip-00K3]
For a Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) versus full-attention baseline study, record the exact Kimi Linear checkpoint, layer mix, context length, hardware, kernel, precision, batch, and decoding workload. The paper describes KDA as a fine-grained gated delta-rule module in a hybrid architecture; those are source observations from Kimi Linear: An Expressive, Efficient Attention Architecture[kimi2025linear], not universal theorems.
If the baseline is called a Transformer, record whether it is the paper's MLA baseline or another full-attention implementation; the label alone does not identify a common architecture or cost.
