The Wiola Architecture for Efficient Small Language Models

arXiv:2607. 01394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Wiola, a fully original Small Language Model (SLM) architecture built from first principles, sharing no structural lineage with any existing model family including GPT, LLaMA, Mistral, or Falcon.

An Input-Dependent Readout Phase for Resonant Sequence Models

The paper introduces an input‑dependent readout phase for ResonatorLM, a resonant sequence model that traditionally uses a fixed phase per head to read memory. By making the phase a function of the current token, the authors add input dependence to the read‑only operation while preserving the exact convolutional path and adding only 0.2 % more parameters. Experiments on 6 M‑parameter character‑level models show that this modification matches the original performance at the training length and dramatically improves generalisation to longer sequences, reducing perplexity from 12.81 to 3.76 when trained on 256 tokens and tested on 1024 tokens.

LatentPort: Beyond KV Cache - Cross-Model Transfer of Recurrent Memory in Hybrid Language Models: A 4B-to-9B Hybrid-State Handoff Without Target Prefix Replay

The paper introduces LatentPort, a method that allows a language model to transfer its live memory to another model without requiring the receiver to reread the context. Experiments on a Qwen3.5 4B-to-9B sibling pair show that adding a Gated DeltaNet (GDN) persistent-state package reduces negative log‑likelihood by 0.747 nats/token and improves performance across 64 PG19 documents. The study also demonstrates that direct recurrent and convolution reuse outperforms learned GDN maps, and a 434,176‑parameter correction further narrows the performance gap to the native 9B model.

The Wiola Architecture for Efficient Small Language Models

We present Wiola, a fully original Small Language Model (SLM) architecture built from first principles, sharing no structural lineage with any existing model family including GPT, LLaMA, Mistral, or Falcon. Wiola introduces five independently novel components: (i) Spiral Rotary Positional Encoding (SRPE), which embeds token positions on a three-dimensional helical manifold combining absolute, relative, and hierarchical positional signals; (ii) Gated Cross-Layer Attention (GCLA), providing each decoder layer with soft cross-attention access to compressed summaries of two preceding layers for inter-layer coherence; (iii) Adaptive Token Merging (ATM), which dynamically merges se mantically redundant adjacent tokens in middle network layers to reduce attention complexity without information loss; (iv) Dual Stream Feed-Forward (DSFF), replacing the conventional MLP with two parallel streams fused by a learned per-dimension gate; and (v) WiolaRMSNorm, a modified normalisation introducing a per-dimension learned offset vector that prevents representation collapse.
