arXiv:2607. 22577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling large language models (LLMs) has driven their success, yet dense Transformers couple capacity and computation: every parameter is activated for every token, making training and inference costs grow linearly with model size-a critical bottleneck as models approach trillion-parameter regimes.

The paper demonstrates that architectural changes—specifically looped transformers and boundary operators—can alter scaling exponents in pre‑training, yielding exponential performance gains for a given computational budget. Looping, or recursive depth, enables model growth that matches larger models (e.g., a 7.4B looped architecture matching GPT‑3 13B) with significantly less compute, while boundary operators provide additional, though smaller, efficiency improvements. In data‑constrained, multi‑epoch scenarios, increasing loops with scale serves as a useful regularizer, suggesting that deeper computational depth drives compute‑efficiency gains that grow with model size.

The paper introduces CHASE, a cache‑hole‑adapted skip‑exit mechanism for looped state‑space language models, specifically Looped Mamba and Looped Hybrid Mamba‑Transformer. It shows that looping these architectures improves performance on controlled reasoning tasks and remains competitive in pre‑training benchmarks while using fewer distinct parameters. The cache‑hole adaptation allows selective skipping of recurrent steps during inference, maintaining perplexity close to full computation and achieving significant speedups.
