Today's paper introduces a novel approach to language modeling that completely eliminates matrix multiplication (MatMul) operations while maintaining strong performance. The authors demonstrate that their MatMul-free language model can achieve comparable results to state-of-the-art Transformers up to at least 2.7 billion parameters, while significantly reducing memory usage and computational costs.
