arXiv:2606. 24898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped language models turn hidden states into runtime state: each state is decoded for prediction and fed back into future computation.
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:2607. 13491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Looped Transformers scale sequential computation by applying a compact stack of physical blocks for multiple rounds, increasing unrolled depth without increasing stored parameters.
arXiv:2608. 15062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling transformer language models creates an inherent tension between expressivity and memory efficiency.
arXiv:2606. 01495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present CART (Context-Anchored Recurrent Transformer), a parameter-efficient language model that reuses a single shared core block R times across depth.
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:2605. 09165v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Looped language models repeat a set of transformer layers through depth, reducing memory costs and providing natural early-exit points at loop boundaries.
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:2608. 08888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive transformers compute along two axes: horizontally across generated tokens, and vertically through model depth.
arXiv:2608. 02870v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce \ours{}, a recurrent Transformer architecture with fixed-size memory that generalizes sliding-window attention while remaining parallelizable during training.
arXiv:2606. 04678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: End-to-end ASR systems typically use fixed-depth acoustic encoders at inference, making it difficult to trade additional test-time computation for improved recognition without training a larger model.
arXiv:2607. 15456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped, weight-tied Transformers reduce parameters by reusing a block, but decoding still stores a separate K/V cache for every recurrence step.
arXiv:2607. 14427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A depth-recurrent transformer applies a weight-tied core a variable number of times, and prior work has shown that training with a randomized recursion count yields one checkpoint usable across a range of inference depths.
