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.

Looping Beyond Twice: A Scalable Recipe for Looped Mixture-of-Experts

The paper introduces LOOM, a method for scaling looped mixture‑of‑experts (MoE) Transformers beyond the typical two‑loop limit. LOOM addresses two key obstacles: it stabilizes deep recurrence by bounding residual variance and re‑injecting the input embedding, and it prevents expert selection collapse by using per‑loop routers and a looping residual to maintain computational diversity. Experiments on 100 M–1.7 B parameter models show stable scaling to 9–12 loops, with significant perplexity reductions and zero‑shot accuracy gains under near‑iso‑FLOP conditions.
