SoftBank Sarashina-1T đang tạo ra cuộc cách mạng trong lĩnh vực AI tại Châu Á với mô hình ngôn ngữ lớn sovereignty-first. Bài viết này sẽ đưa bạn từ concept đến deployment production với HolySheep AI — nền tảng tích hợp Sarashina-1T tối ưu chi phí với tỷ giá chỉ ¥1=$1.

1. Giới thiệu Sarashina-1T Sovereign LLM

Sarashina-1T là mô hình foundation được SoftBank phát triển với kiến trúc hybrid attention, tối ưu cho workload inference trong môi trường enterprise Nhật Bản và Đông Á. Điểm nổi bật bao gồm:

2. Kiến Trúc Kỹ Thuật Chi Tiết

2.1 Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Routing

Sarashina-1T sử dụng sparse MoE với 128 experts, mỗi expert là một feed-forward network độc lập. Router layer đánh giá top-2 experts dựa trên token embedding:

# Sarashina-1T Expert Routing Visualization
class SarashinaMoERouter:
    def __init__(self, num_experts=128, top_k=2):
        self.num_experts = num_experts
        self.top_k = top_k
        # Load expert routing weights từ Sarashina-1T config
        self.routing_weights = self._load_routing_matrix()

    def route(self, token_embeddings):
        """
        token_embeddings: (batch_size, seq_len, hidden_dim)
        Returns: expert_indices (batch_size, seq_len, top_k)
                 routing_probs (batch_size, seq_len, top_k)
        """
        # Compute routing scores: matmul(embeddings, routing_weights)
        scores = torch.matmul(
            token_embeddings,
            self.routing_weights  # (hidden_dim, num_experts)
        )  # Shape: (batch, seq, 128)

        # Top-k selection với temperature scaling
        top_k_scores, top_k_indices = torch.topk(
            scores, k=self.top_k, dim=-1
        )

        # Softmax normalization
        routing_probs = F.softmax(top_k_scores / 0.7, dim=-1)

        return top_k_indices, routing_probs

    def _load_routing_matrix(self):
        # Sarashina-1T routing matrix: trained để balance expert utilization
        # Target: no single expert > 5% total FLOPs
        pass

2.2 Attention Mechanism: FlashAttention-3 Integration

Sarashina-1T tích hợp FlashAttention-3 với custom kernel cho HBM-aware computation, giảm memory footprint 60% so với standard attention:

Với workload 10 triệu tokens/tháng:

# Chi phí hàng tháng khi sử dụng HolySheep Sarashina-1T
WORKLOAD_TOKENS_PER_MONTH = 10_000_000  # 10M tokens
INPUT_RATIO = 0.3  # 30% input tokens
OUTPUT_RATIO = 0.7  # 70% output tokens
