As pointed out by @zjost in #1791, we probably should just manually force dropout to be 0 outside of training. This is actually what we did originally, but along the way we switched to just always using the value from
attn_dropoutdirectly, which will not be correct at inference time if someone passes a nonzero value. So this PR changes back to coercing dropout to 0.0 outside of training mode. I checked with the author of the PR who first dropped the if/else dropout logic and it was not done by design.I also make two other changes: (1) reverting the doc update I made last night, and (2) raising an error in case someone tries to use FlexAttention with nonzero dropout (it's not currently supported).
