arXiv:2511. 04981v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model depth is a double-edged sword in deep learning: deeper models achieve higher accuracy but require higher computational cost.

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.

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:2606. 01117v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extreme multi-label classification (XMC) involves learning models over large output spaces with millions of labels, making the output layer a memory-compute bottleneck.

arXiv:2605. 17842v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autoregressive language models execute Transformer layers sequentially, creating a latency bottleneck that is not removed by conventional tensor or pipeline parallelism.

arXiv:2602. 10796v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative sequence modeling faces a fundamental tension between the expressivity of Transformers and the efficiency of linear sequence models.
