I've been working on a practical implementation of Sliding Window Attention (SWA) for pretrained Hugging Face causal LLMs. The idea is simple: instead of allowing every generated token to attend to the complete historical KV cache, maintain a bounded cache consisting of: attention sinks + recent sl…
