## Attention Mask Interface
Having a new attention function may mean that you need a new format of attention mask to decide what key and value tokens
the query tokens should attend to. This is now possible with the `AttentionMaskInterface`! It works in the same way as
the `AttentionInterface`:
```python
from transformers import AttentionMaskInterface
from transformers.masking_utils import sdpa_mask
import torch
def my_new_sdpa_mask(*args, **kwargs):
print("I just entered the attention mask computation")
return sdpa_mask(*args, **kwargs)
AttentionMaskInterface.register("my_new_sdpa_mask", my_new_sdpa_mask)
```
The reason you have to register it is because we need to automatically correct your mask format based on the attention implementation (for example, flex attention uses a BlockMask format, while sdpa uses a 4D tensor).
By default, if you do not register an attention mask function along with your attention function, mask creation will be skipped
and `attention_mask=None` will be passed along to the Attention layers.
The default signature of the attention mask functions is the following:
```python
def custom_attention_mask(
batch_size: int, # required arg
cache_position: torch.Tensor, # required arg
kv_length: int, # required arg
kv_offset: int = 0, # required arg
mask_function: Callable = causal_mask_function, # required arg
attention_mask: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None, # required arg
**kwargs, # a few additional args may be passed as kwargs, especially the model's config is always passed
) -> Optional[torch.Tensor]:
```
It mostly works thanks to the `mask_function`, which is a `Callable` in the form of [torch's mask_mod functions](https://pytorch.org/blog/flexattention/), taking 4 indices as input and returning a boolean to indicate if this position should take part in the attention computation.
If you cannot use the `mask_function` to create your mask for some reason, you can try to work around it by doing something similar to our [torch export workaround](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/integrations/executorch.py).
