arXiv:2603. 01959v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: State-Space Models (SSMs) have recently been shown to achieve strong empirical performance on a variety of long-range sequence modeling tasks while remaining efficient and highly-parallelizable.

arXiv:2607. 21000v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-sequence memory tracking places two opposing demands on a recurrent state: near-lossless retention of stored bindings over long horizons, and active overwriting of stale ones.

arXiv:2608. 03425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer-based architectures have dominated sequence modeling, largely due to the expressive power of attention mechanisms.

arXiv:2607. 10110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work on looped language models suggests that many reasoning problems benefit from greater computational depth rather than from additional independent parameters.

Long-sequence memory tracking places two opposing demands on a recurrent state: near-lossless retention of stored bindings over long horizons, and active overwriting of stale ones. In our diagnostic suite, the strongest efficient baselines tend to solve only one side well.
arXiv:2602. 14814v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Over the last years, state-tracking tasks, particularly permutation composition, have become a testbed to understand the limits of sequence models architectures like Transformers and RNNs (linear and non-linear).

arXiv:2503. 18970v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Structured State Space Models (SSMs) have become a prominent class of sequence models, developed against two long-standing difficulties: the sequential computation and gradient propagation limits of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and the quadratic time and memory cost of self-attention in Transformers.

arXiv:2608. 17981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe an inference-time architectural enhancement for off-the-shelf foundation models that markedly reduces perplexity and boosts accuracy across generation and reasoning tasks.

arXiv:2602. 10743v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: State-space language models such as Mamba and gated linear attention (GLA) offer linear-complexity, parallelisable alternatives to transformers, but their linear state updates limit expressivity and robust state tracking.

arXiv:2606. 24898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped language models turn hidden states into runtime state: each state is decoded for prediction and fed back into future computation.

arXiv:2604. 01577v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study out of distribution generalization in streaming tasks where models are trained on short sequences but must operate over much longer, unknown horizons under bounded memory.

arXiv:2607. 14952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment.
