Parallax (Parameterized Local Linear Attention) reuses the Qwen3 architecture
and only overrides the attention class to swap softmax self-attention for the
parallax op (``attn_type="parallax"``).
Reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.29157
Design notes
------------
* All boilerplate — RMSNorm, MLP, rotary embeddings, decoder-layer scaffolding,
the base ``PreTrainedModel`` class, ``Qwen3Model``, ``Qwen3ForCausalLM``,
mask preparation, cache handling, ``GenerationMixin`` integration, etc. —
is inherited from ``transformers.models.qwen3``.
* The only new code is:
- ``parallax_forward``: a pure-PyTorch kernel implementing the parallax op,
batched over heads and taking an additive attention mask in the HF shape
``(B, 1, q_len, kv_len)``.
- ``ParallaxAttention``: inherits from ``Qwen3Attention``, adds an
``r_proj`` / ``r_norm`` pair when ``config.attn_type == "parallax"``,
and overrides ``forward`` to dispatch to ``parallax_forward`` in that
case. For ``attn_type == "sdpa"`` the forward simply delegates to
``Qwen3Attention.forward`` unchanged, so all modern HF attention
backends (sdpa, flash_attention_2, flex_attention, eager) remain
available for that path.
- ``ParallaxDecoderLayer``, ``ParallaxModel``, ``ParallaxPreTrainedModel``,
``ParallaxForCausalLM``: thin subclasses that rewire parent classes to
the ``ParallaxAttention`` / ``ParallaxConfig`` below.
