+# Model Architecture Configuration
+
+Each model artifact has an associated optional architecture configuration that describes the detailed structure and components of the model. Currently, only decoder-type transformer architectures are supported. Future extensions will include:
+
+- Multi-modal language models
+- State Space Models
+- Diffusion Models
+
+## Terminology
+
+The transformer is the most popular architecture for LLMs. It consists of a stack of structured layers, where each layer contains a self-attention block and a feed-forward network, with normalization layers and residual connections. The complete architecture includes a tokenizer, input embedding layer, position embedding layer, transformer layers, and output embedding layer. The transformer architecture has remained relatively stable since [Attention is all you need][attention-paper]. As shown in the table below, current open-weight model architectures are converging, making it feasible to define a common abstraction.
