Softmax Attention on Gaussian Mixtures: Linear When It Can, Selective When It Must

arXiv:2610.11798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Softmax attention, at the heart of Transformers, has demonstrated remarkable capabilities. Yet its underlying mechanisms remain only partially understood. Recent theoretical work studies Gaussian prompts, where the infinite-prompt limit reduces softma…
