Its cost grows quadratically with sequence length, and its KV cache keeps expanding during long decoding. Earlier linear-attention and hybrid designs saved compute but usually lost quality or were only tested at small scale. The Kimi Team… 2. **[A Survey of Retentive Network](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-survey-retentive-network/)** *(2026)* Transformers scale poorly on long inputs: self-attention costs grow quadratically with sequence length during training, and the per-token KV cache inflates memory use at inference. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
