arXiv:2608. 15062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling transformer language models creates an inherent tension between expressivity and memory efficiency.
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.
arXiv:2608. 08888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive transformers compute along two axes: horizontally across generated tokens, and vertically through model depth.
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.
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.
arXiv:2606. 16112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Residual architectures are ubiquitous in deep learning, but they suffer from a subtle structural limitation: the norm of the residual stream can grow rapidly with depth.
arXiv:2607. 21291v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong generation and reasoning performance, but the Transformer architecture incurs high inference cost.
arXiv:2604. 03444v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work has demonstrated the potential of non-transformer language models, especially linear recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and hybrid models that mix recurrence and attention.
arXiv:2606. 24969v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While the quadratic sequence-length bottleneck of transformers has fueled a resurgence in recurrent models, effectively capturing complex dynamics requires architectures that balance efficient training with highly expressive latent states.
arXiv:2605. 06384v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce MinMax Recurrent Neural Cascades (MinMax RNCs), a class of recurrent neural networks built from a novel form of recurrence over the MinMax algebra.
Dynamic Compression in Recurrent Networks proposes a method that lets recurrent models revisit and revise their fixed-size state through additional updates, rather than compressing all information in a single causal pass. This approach allows the model to retain lower-fidelity history and refine only the relevant parts when needed, reducing the required state size for accurate task reuse. Experiments show that dynamic compression lowers the recurrent state needed and scales better as the number of stored functions increases.
