FreeSolo Enables Linear-Time Sparse Attention with Zero-Shot Extrapolation
October 11, 2026
FreeSolo introduces a native sparse attention mechanism using a short-range sliding window and a long-range keypoint selection branch. This architecture enables linear-time sequence modeling with zero-shot length extrapolation, overcoming the limitations of fixed-size recurrent states.
