Starting from scratch: Training a 30M Topological Transformer
Tauformer is a topological transformer (see paper ) that replaces dot‑product attention with a Laplacian-derived scalar (taumode) per token/head, then attends using distances in that scalar space. Below is a post-style overview of the idea and the first training signals from a 30M-parameter run.

Light Mode InFFFFFFlation
Back in the day, light mode wasn’t called “light mode”. It was just the way that computers were, we didn’t really think about turning everything light or dark.
