Recurrent Looped Transformer
Excerpt
arXiv:2610.07591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: State tracking requires an update at every input, but the depth a Transformer applies to each token is fixed regardless of sequence length. We introduce the Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT), which splits its layers between a parallel causal encoder and a recurrent decoder. At each token, the decoder merges the encoder output with the previous token's final decoder state, so the computation path grows with sequence length at a fixed per-token co
