Transformers are RNNs (link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.16236.pdf) talks about constant memory gradient computations which should be entirely realizeable for this project (the math is reasonably similar in structure at least).

Seemingly currently the memory usage does scale with sequence length though this may just be because larger inputs will need more memory to store all the embeddings. To that extent, it shouldn't help the training that's done in parallel.

This will be important for infinite context in the RNN formulation though! (see #14)
