Transformers
> In this scalar example, a saturated sublayer has derivative 0.0000000206. For the simplified residual map `x + F(x)`, the derivative is 1.0000000206. Real transformer blocks also include normalization and repeated matrix-valued Jacobians, so the skip path helps but does not guarantee gradient preservation.
