Wave Field LLM — O(n log n) attention via wave equation dynamics, within 5% of standard transformer
[ Update ] Just built fused Triton kernels for Wave Field LLM v5.
When you build an architecture from scratch, you end up building
everything from scratch.
Custom attention mechanism (O(n log n) via FFT wave convolution)
Custom optimizer (Wave optimization)
Custom KV cache compression (WaveKV filtering)
Custom Triton kernels (fused scatter-FFT-gather for H100)
Custom positional encoding (Wave Field pipeline)
None of the existing tools work when your math is fundamentally
different.
Standard transformers use Q·K^T dot products. We use damped wave
propagation through a continuous field. Flash Attention can’t help us
: it optimizes matrix multiplies we don’t do.
So we write our own.
The result: 20x faster than standard attention at 32K context. Runs at 128K where others OOM. 5x less memory.
Building the full stack isn’t a choice — it’s a requirement when
you’re doing something new.
