T-LoopFormer: Token-Level Elastic-Depth Looped Transformers for Latent Reasoning with Dynamic Routing

T-LoopFormer introduces token-level elastic-depth looped transformers that allow each token to decide its own number of loop iterations based on its hidden state, improving token generation accuracy. It also adds a recursion-wise key‑value cache so tokens at different depths only attend to their corresponding cached states, speeding up autoregressive decoding. Experiments demonstrate strong performance on language modeling and zero‑shot reasoning, achieving the lowest decoding latency among comparable models.

CHASE: Cache-Hole-Adapted Skip Exit for Looped State-Space Language Models

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.
