Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Attention Is All You Need (Vaswani et al., 2017) Source: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762 (NIPS 2017; extracted from arXiv v7) ## TL;DR The Transformer is an encoder-decoder model for sequence transduction built only from attention and position-wise feed-forward layers, with no recurrence and no convolution. Because every position attends to every other position in one step, training parallelizes well and any two positions are a constant number of operations apart. It set new state-of-the-art BLEU on WMT 2014 EN-DE (28.4) and EN-FR (single model) at a fraction of earlier training costs, and transferred to English constituency parsing. ## Key claims and evidence 1. **Attention alone is enough for strong sequence transduction.** Transformer (big) reaches 28.4 BLEU on WMT 2014 EN-DE, more than 2.0 BLEU above the best earlier results including ensembles; even the base model (27.3) beats all earlier models and ensembles. (§6.1, Table 2) 2. **It is much cheaper to train.** Base: 12 hours / 100K steps on 8 P100 GPUs, ~3.3e18 FLOPs. Big: 3.5 days / 300K steps, ~2.3e19 FLOPs. The EN-FR big model beats all earlier single models at under 1/4 the training cost …

How to install
mdr add michalstrnadel/source-to-skill/attention-is-all-you-need@sha256:a1af1f026be31503The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.d77ddfa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
