Describe the issue
Hi, thanks for the great work!
I am curious about the provided configuration files. In my understanding, these files are used to determine the attention pattern of an attention head. However, I find the attention patterns are always the vertical_and_slash pattern (e.g. Llama_3_8B_Instruct_262k_kv_out_v32_fit_o_best_pattern.json). Does this mean that there is no need to divide sparse patterns into three types?
Thanks!
