jiachenzhu/DyT

• highreadme#1

  Reposition README's opening to explicitly state DyT's role as a normalization layer alternative

  Why:

  CURRENT

  We propose **DynamicTanh(DyT)**, an element-wise operation defined as: DyT(x) = tanh($\alpha$x), where $\alpha$ is a learnable scaler.
  DyT is designed to replace normalization layers in Transformers. Models with DyT achieves similar or better performance than their normalized counterparts.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

DyT is designed to replace normalization layers in Transformers, serving as a high-performing alternative to methods like LayerNorm, RMSNorm, or DeepNorm. Models with DyT achieve similar or better performance than their normalized counterparts.
