Jax-Softmax-Bypass PoC Replaces Softmax with Taylor Polynomial Approximations
September 11, 2026
This JAX-based PoC bypasses the exponential function bottleneck in Transformer Softmax by factorizing activation trajectories into 2nd-order Taylor polynomial FMA planes. The framework uses four branchless acceleration engines to manage numerical divergence within distributed XLA clusters.
