Self-pretraining improves Transformer sequence classification by enabling learning of proximity-biased attention from positional encodings that label supervision alone cannot easily acquire from random starts.
Flash PD-SSM achieves FSA-level expressivity by discretely selecting one matrix from a trainable set of structured sparse transition matrices at each time step while preserving the runtime and memory efficiency of standard structured SSMs.
RubiConv enables boundary-respecting convolutions on packed sequences using an efficient algorithm that outperforms both attention and standard FFT baselines in speed.
ZAYA1-8B is a reasoning MoE model with 700M active parameters that matches larger models on math and coding benchmarks and reaches 91.9% on AIME'25 via Markovian RSA test-time compute.
ShinkaEvolve improves sample efficiency in LLM-driven program evolution via parent sampling, code novelty rejection-sampling, and bandit LLM ensemble selection, achieving new SOTA circle packing with 150 samples and gains on math reasoning and competitive programming tasks.
Sakana Fugu trains LLM orchestrators using fine-tuning, evolutionary algorithms, and RL to build query-adaptive multi-agent scaffolds, claiming SOTA results on benchmarks including SWE-Bench Pro and GPQA-Diamond.
ZONOS2 8B is a scaled MoE TTS model with 900M active parameters trained on 6M hours of data that reports competitive SOTA results on naturalness, speaker similarity, WER, and a new ZTTS1-Eval benchmark while releasing weights and code.
This work systematically compares inter-layer and intra-layer hybridization strategies for combining self-attention and Mamba-style state space models, evaluating them on language modeling, downstream tasks, long-context performance, scaling, and efficiency to derive optimal design recipes.
