arXiv:2511. 17864v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent research has established that the impact of context in a vanilla transformer can be represented implicitly by forming a token-dependent, rank-1 patch to its MLP weights.

arXiv:2608. 12671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-layer transformers form the critical component of essentially all large language models (LLMs) in use today.

arXiv:2602. 18948v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformer models contain substantial internal redundancy arising from coordinate-dependent representations and continuous symmetries, in model space and in head space, respectively.

arXiv:2606. 26396v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained transformers have demonstrated remarkable generalization abilities, at times extending beyond the scope of their training data.

arXiv:2610. 01172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study learning rate (LR) scaling for hybrid architectures combining Transformer and State-Space Model (SSM) blocks, a class adopted by several recent production language models.

Scaling laws promised cost-effective experiments; six years later, they have yet to fully deliver. Instead, researchers have found them unreliable at small scales (starting at 4M parameters) and concluded that sizable models cannot be avoided.
arXiv:2602. 08857v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent work has shown that the computations of Transformers can be simulated in the RASP family of programming languages.
