    Link to paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12409 Alibi tensor is not causal as the original paper mentions, it
    relies on a translation invariance of softmax for quick implementation: with l being a tensor, and a fixed value
    `softmax(l+a) = softmax(l)`. Based on
    https://github.com/ofirpress/attention_with_linear_biases/blob/a35aaca144e0eb6b789dfcb46784c4b8e31b7983/fairseq/models/transformer.py#L742
    TODO @thomasw21 this doesn't work as nicely due to the masking strategy, and so masking varies slightly.
    Args:
    Returns tensor shaped (batch_size * num_heads, 1, max_seq_len)
        attention_mask (`torch.Tensor`):
            Token-wise attention mask, this should be of shape (batch_size, max_seq_len).
        num_heads (`int`, *required*):
            number of heads
        dtype (`torch.dtype`, *optional*, default=`torch.bfloat16`):
            dtype of the output tensor
