When does this happen?
IF When using flash attention with sliding window and causal masking, the window_size is set to (sliding_window, sliding_window) instead of (sliding_window - 1, sliding_window), resulting in an effective window that is 2*sliding_window+1 rather than the intended sliding_window.
How others solved it
THEN Change the flash_kwargs initialization in modeling_flash_attention_utils.py from `{"window_size": (sliding_window, sliding_window)}` to `{"window_size": (sliding_window - 1, sliding_window)}` when sliding window is enabled. This ensures the flash attention implementation matches the behavior of other sliding window implementations combined with a causal mask.
flash_kwargs = {"window_size": (sliding_window - 1, sliding_window)} if use_sliding_windows else {}Related patterns
