Gated Recurrent Transformers: Expressive Depth through Recurrent Modulation
The paper introduces Gated Recurrent Transformers, a depth‑sharing architecture that brackets a single shared core with fixed prelude and coda blocks and uses a lightweight projection and element‑wise update gate to modulate recurrent updates. This design allows functional specialization across recurrences while reducing memory footprint. Experiments show that, under equal FLOPs or parameter budgets, the recurrent model matches or surpasses deeper GPT‑2 Small baselines, achieving similar or better accuracy with fewer parameters and lower peak decoding memory.

The Context-Ready Transformer
arXiv:2606. 27538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the context-ready transformer, a new recurrent neural network architecture built from a D-layer transformer block that pre-contextualizes each token before it enters the block.

Hidden Decoding at Scale: Latent Computation Scaling for Large Language Models
Scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) has been driven mainly by enlarging the Transformer backbone, but for an already-strong model this requires another round of costly pretraining. We study whether an existing backbone can keep improving by allocating more computation to each token while leaving the Transformer backbone fixed.

Structured Recurrent Mixers for Massively Parallelized Sequence Generation
arXiv:2605. 08696v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Over the last two decades, language modeling has experienced a shift from the use of predominantly recurrent architectures that process tokens sequentially during training and inference to non-recurrent models that process sequence elements in parallel during training, which results in greater training efficiency and stability at the expense of lower inference throughput.

Decoding Looped Transformers Better for (Almost) Free
The paper introduces LoopCD, a training‑free contrastive decoding framework that improves token selection in Loop‑Transformer models by comparing the final prediction with earlier recurrent passes. LoopCD operates either in logit space (LoopCD‑Logits) with a single extra output pass or in hidden‑state space (LoopCD‑Hidden) with no output overhead. Across multiple looped Transformer families, LoopCD yields significant performance gains—raising pass@1 scores on tasks such as AIME 2024 and HumanEval—while enabling a reduction in the number of recurrent loops and a corresponding decrease in inference FLOPs.
