On 6000 Qwen3-8B AIME traces, late-clustered moderate-to-severe backtracks are more common in incorrect outputs, enabling prefix-causal burst-aware filtering that outperforms fixed-length cutoffs at shallow and intermediate depths.

Looped-MoE models scale better than dense looped or standard transformers because routing changes across loops, and they enable stronger compute-quality trade-offs via early exits at loop boundaries.
