A family of attention mechanisms that compute interactions between only a subset of token pairs instead of every pair, breaking the O(n²) cost of full self-attention. The dense attention used in vanilla Transformers forces every token to attend to every other token; sparse attention restricts that i

AI models whose trained weights are publicly released, allowing anyone to download, run, fine-tune, and deploy them. "Open weight" is more precise than "open source" because most releases don't include training code or data.
