> 1) there are a lot of papers claiming to be the successor to the Transformer, and not all of them are cited; e.g., the MetaFormer is missing https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.11418. Another candidate that wasn't compares against (or at least argued why it wouldn't make sense to compare against) are the Hopfield Networks https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.02217.

Neither of those papers are NLP applicable? And I think it's perfectly fair to focus on the alternatives (ie. like H3 and RWKV) that have been able to scale up to LLM levels and perplexity, which neither of the alternatives you mention have. Should they just cite every 'is All You Need' paper?
