-
-        # Explanation:
-        #  - 'bnhs' is alpha (batch, n_heads, seq_len)
-        #  - 'bnhsd' is K_kappa  (b,n_heads,seq_len, d)
-        #  - 'bnhsf' is V        (b,n_heads,seq_len, d)
-        # We want [b,n_heads,d,f], which is the d×d matrix per head.
-        # Actually we need an outer product (K_kappa_j^T × V_j). That is [d, d].
-        # The call above is not quite correct if we want K_kappa_j^T × V_j as [d,d].
-        # Let's do a simpler approach:
-        #   outer_sum = sum_j alpha_j * (K_kappa_j^T outer V_j).
-        #   = "bnhs,bnhsd,bnhsf -> bnhdf"
-        #   means: alpha has shape (b,n,h,s), K_kappa has shape (b,n,h,s,d), V has shape (b,n,h,s,d)
-        #   We want to produce (b,n,h,d,d).
-        # So the correct einsum string is 'bnhs,bnhsd,bnhsf->bnhdf':
-        #   alpha indexes b,n,h,s
-        #   K_kappa indexes b,n,h,s,d => K_kappa_j
-        #   V indexes b,n,h,s,f => V_j
-        # The resulting shape is (b,n,h,d,f). Great.
-
-        # 6) For each token i, Y_i = φ(X_i) ∘ [ κ(Q_i) × outer_sum ]
-        #    Here κ(Q_i) is shape [b,n,h,d], outer_sum is shape [b,n,h,d,d].
-        #    We'll do a batch matmul: result_attn = Q_kappa_i × outer_sum => [b,n,h,d]
-        #    Then multiply elementwise by φ(X_i).
-        #    But φ(X_i) is a single [b,seq_len,d_model], so we reshape to [b,seq_len,n,h_dim].
-        #    We'll do per-token i in a loop or broadcast. Let's do it in a single operation with einsum:
-
-        # first, compute φ(X):
-        # X is the original hidden_states: [b, seq_len, d_model]
-        X_phi = self.phi(  # pylint: disable=invalid-name
-            hidden_states
-        )  # [b, seq_len, d_model]
-        X_phi = X_phi.view(  # pylint: disable=invalid-name
-            bsz, q_len, self.num_heads, self.head_dim
-        )  # [b, s, n, d]
-        X_phi = X_phi.transpose(1, 2)  # [b, n, s, d]  # pylint: disable=invalid-name
-
-        # Now for each i in [0..q_len-1], we do a matrix multiply:
-        # result_attn_i = Q_kappa_i [b,n,s,d] × outer_sum [b,n,d,d] => we want [b,n,s,d].
-        # We'll do:
-        result_attn = torch.einsum("bnsd,bndf->bnsf", Q_kappa, outer_sum)  # [b,n,s,d]
-
-        # Then elementwise multiply by φ(X_i):
-        context_layer = X_phi * result_attn  # [b,n,s,d]
-
-        # Finally, reorder to [b, s, n, d] -> [b, s, n*d]

-
-        # Explanation:
-        #  - 'bnhs' is alpha (batch, n_heads, seq_len)
-        #  - 'bnhsd' is K_kappa  (b,n_heads,seq_len, d)
-        #  - 'bnhsf' is V        (b,n_heads,seq_len, d)
-        # We want [b,n_heads,d,f], which is the d×d matrix per head.
-        # Actually we need an outer product (K_kappa_j^T × V_j). That is [d, d].
-        # The call above is not quite correct if we want K_kappa_j^T × V_j as [d,d].
-        # Let's do a simpler approach:
-        #   outer_sum = sum_j alpha_j * (K_kappa_j^T outer V_j).
-        #   = "bnhs,bnhsd,bnhsf -> bnhdf"
-        #   means: alpha has shape (b,n,h,s), K_kappa has shape (b,n,h,s,d), V has shape (b,n,h,s,d)
-        #   We want to produce (b,n,h,d,d).
-        # So the correct einsum string is 'bnhs,bnhsd,bnhsf->bnhdf':
-        #   alpha indexes b,n,h,s
-        #   K_kappa indexes b,n,h,s,d => K_kappa_j
-        #   V indexes b,n,h,s,f => V_j
-        # The resulting shape is (b,n,h,d,f). Great.
-
-        # 6) For each token i, Y_i = φ(X_i) ∘ [ κ(Q_i) × outer_sum ]
-        #    Here κ(Q_i) is shape [b,n,h,d], outer_sum is shape [b,n,h,d,d].
-        #    We'll do a batch matmul: result_attn = Q_kappa_i × outer_sum => [b,n,h,d]
-        #    Then multiply elementwise by φ(X_i).
-        #    But φ(X_i) is a single [b,seq_len,d_model], so we reshape to [b,seq_len,n,h_dim].
-        #    We'll do per-token i in a loop or broadcast. Let's do it in a single operation with einsum:
-
-        # first, compute φ(X):
-        # X is the original hidden_states: [b, seq_len, d_model]
-        X_phi = self.phi(hidden_states)  # [b, seq_len, d_model]
-        X_phi = X_phi.view(bsz, q_len, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)  # [b, s, n, d]
-        X_phi = X_phi.transpose(1, 2)  # [b, n, s, d]
-
-        # Now for each i in [0..q_len-1], we do a matrix multiply:
-        # result_attn_i = Q_kappa_i [b,n,s,d] × outer_sum [b,n,d,d] => we want [b,n,s,d].
-        # We'll do:
-        result_attn = torch.einsum("bnsd,bndf->bnsf", Q_kappa, outer_sum)  # [b,n,s,d]
-
-        # Then elementwise multiply by φ(X_i):
-        context_layer = X_phi * result_attn  # [b,n,s,d]
-
-        # Finally, reorder to [b, s, n, d] -> [b, s, n*d]
-        context_layer = context_layer.transpose(1, 2).contiguous()  # [b, s, n, d]
