T-LoopFormer introduces token-level elastic-depth looped transformers that allow each token to decide its own number of loop iterations based on its hidden state, improving token generation accuracy. It also adds a recursion-wise key‑value cache so tokens at different depths only attend to their corresponding cached states, speeding up autoregressive decoding. Experiments demonstrate strong performance on language modeling and zero‑shot reasoning, achieving the lowest decoding latency among comparable models.

arXiv:2607. 25915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complex structured reasoning tasks often require additional computation, yet current language models obtain it mainly by increasing parameter scale or by serializing intermediate steps as chain-of-thought (CoT) tokens.

arXiv:2606. 16360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting improves reasoning in large language models (LLMs) by externalizing intermediate computation as discrete text tokens, but this textual interface also introduces redundancy and inference overhead.
