Power-law data distributions outperform uniform ones for compositional reasoning by creating asymmetry that lets frequent skill compositions scaffold rare ones with less data.
A 1.4B and a 2.6B looped (weight-tied, recurrent-depth) language model trained on 7.7T tokens match or exceed several 4B–8B transformer baselines on selected reasoning benchmarks.
