> At a high level, you take an existing transformer model Freeze all the weights, delete the attention layer, replace it with RWKV, and train it through multiple stages.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it seems like they still depend on an attention based model to train their model? While it's interesting and would definitely enable the personalized AI they seem to be going for, I don't really see how they can say that it's not based on attention architecture. Someone still needs to shell out the big bucks to train that teacher model, no?
