Training-free looped transformers retrofit recurrence to frozen models via damped ODE sub-steps on mid-stack blocks, yielding gains such as +2.64 pp on MMLU-Pro for Qwen3-4B.
Looped LLMs converge to distinct cyclic fixed points per layer, repeating feedforward-style inference stages across recurrences.
Looped language models with latent iterative computation and entropy-regularized depth allocation achieve performance matching up to 12B standard LLMs through superior knowledge manipulation.
A recursive sparse MoE framework integrated into diffusion models iteratively refines visual tokens via gated module selection to improve structured reasoning and image generation performance.
RIC replaces single-pass label imitation with RL-driven iterative belief refinement, recovering cross-entropy optima while enabling adaptive halting via a value function.
Memory tokens are required for non-trivial performance in adaptive Universal Transformers on Sudoku-Extreme, with 8-32 tokens yielding stable 57% exact-match accuracy while trading off against ponder depth.
AMOR uses output entropy to gate attention in recurrent hybrids, matching full attention performance at roughly 22% attention invocations across 180M-1.5B models.
HRM is a recurrent architecture with high-level planning and low-level execution modules that reaches near-perfect accuracy on complex Sudoku, maze navigation, and ARC benchmarks using 27M parameters and 1000 samples without pre-training or CoT supervision.
Galactica, a science-specialized LLM, reports higher scores than GPT-3, Chinchilla, and PaLM on LaTeX knowledge, mathematical reasoning, and medical QA benchmarks while outperforming general models on BIG-bench.
