Mechanism of Attention Stabilization
Explain the mechanism by which having a small set of tokens that can attend to the entire sequence helps stabilize model performance, especially for very long inputs. Your explanation should detail the effect this has on the output distribution of the Softmax function within the attention calculation.

Stabilizing Attention in Long-Sequence Models
A team is developing a language model for summarizing very long documents. They observe that as input sequences grow longer, the model's attention mechanism becomes unstable, leading to inconsistent and lower-quality summaries. The team hypothesizes that the lack of a stable, document-level context is causing the attention scores to fluctuate excessively. Which of the following modifications would most directly address this specific problem by stabilizing the attention calculation?
