WriteSAE: Sparse Autoencoders for Recurrent State

cs.LG · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0 · 2 refs

WriteSAE introduces sparse autoencoders with rank-1 matrix atoms for recurrent state updates, allowing replacement tests that outperform deletion on 92.4% of positions and a formula predicting logit changes with R²=0.98.

Learning, Fast and Slow: Towards LLMs That Adapt Continually

cs.LG · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Fast-Slow Training uses context optimization as fast weights alongside parameter updates as slow weights to achieve up to 3x better sample efficiency, higher performance, and less catastrophic forgetting than standard RL in continual LLM learning.

A Single-Layer Model Can Do Language Modeling

cs.CL · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A 130M-parameter 1-layer GPN achieves FineWeb-Edu perplexity 18.06, within 13% of a 12-layer Transformer++ (16.05) and 18% of a 10-layer GDN (15.34).
