>You Could Have Come Up With Kimi Delta Attention

What? Little old me! Well, then, let's have a look...

> A note on notation: this article defaults to bra-ket notation because (in my quantum-inspired opinion) it makes the shapes in this derivation very clear. The Math notation switch above rewrites every equation using conventional bold vectors and explicit transposes instead. In bra-ket mode, ∣ q ⟩ ∣q⟩ is a column vector, ⟨ k ∣ ⟨k∣ is a row vector, ⟨ k ∣ q ⟩ ⟨k∣q⟩ is a number, and ∣ v ⟩ ⟨ k ∣ ∣v⟩⟨k∣ is a matrix. Vectors face right by default, while keys face left when written into the linear-attention state. We work with one causal attention head and real-valued vectors, assume DeltaNet’s keys are normalized, and let the state map from key space to value space.

Hmm... Guess not!

I love that they let you switch to a more common q'k notation!
