Flash normalization: fast RMSNorm for LLMs

12 Jul 2024arXiv:2407.09577archive 2025-07-28

Nils Graef, Matthew Clapp, Andrew Wasielewski

RMSNorm is used by many LLMs such as Llama, Mistral, and OpenELM. This paper details FlashNorm, which is an exact but faster implementation of RMSNorm followed by linear layers. See https://huggingface.co/open-machine/FlashNorm for code and more transformer tricks.
