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.
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.
arXiv:2607. 00341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models achieve strong performance on many reasoning tasks when allowed to externalize intermediate steps as Chain-of-Thought (CoT).
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 paper introduces recirculation, an inference‑time architectural enhancement for foundation models that reduces perplexity and improves accuracy on generation and reasoning tasks without adding significant latency. Recirculation adds a specific form of recurrence, enabling the model to function as a dynamical system that tracks belief states, and is distinct from chain‑of‑thought or depth‑recurrence methods. An adaptive variant requires minimal hyperparameter tuning and achieves notable gains on the Gemma3 family, including a 23% perplexity drop and a 21% accuracy increase on GSM8k.
