Zyphra AI Introduces Zyphra Hierarchical Attention (ZHA): A Path to True Subquadratic Attention

Zyphra has released Zyphra Hierarchical Attention (ZHA), a sparse attention method built around a tree-structured indexer. ZHA targets a known gap in sparse attention: the indexer that picks tokens still scans the whole context. Zyphra’s technical paper shows ZHA can be distilled into frozen pretrained models with about 4B tokens. On Qwen3.6-35B-A3B it stays close
