"""
2+
Verification script for dynamic mask attention fix.
3+
4+
This is a simple test to verify that our fix for the dynamic mask attention
5+
integration resolves the issues between the Python and CUDA implementations.
6+
7+
Key areas that were fixed:
8+
1. Scale attention scores before adding mask values (matching Python implementation)
9+
2. Set non-masked positions to -INFINITY to exclude them from softmax
10+
3. Avoid double-scaling in the softmax calculation
11+
12+
The test verifies these fixes on a small example with controlled values.

21+
Test the fixed dynamic mask attention implementation.
22+
23+
Before the fix, the CUDA implementation was incorrectly:
24+
1. Adding mask values without properly scaling the attention scores
25+
2. Not handling non-masked positions correctly
26+
3. Potentially double-scaling in the softmax calculation
27+

This test verifies that the fix works as expected when CUDA becomes available.
