Closing the Loop: Practical Training Recipes for Looped Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.00673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Looped language models increase effective depth by repeatedly applying a shared block of layers, but existing large-scale recipes require multi-stage training over trillions of tokens, while the benefits of recurrence remain difficult to separate from differences in data and training. In this work, we establish practical training recipes for looped language models, with three main results. (1) We develop a compute-efficient from-scratch pipeline that reduces the training budget from 7.7T tokens in Ouro to 310B tokens while retaining strong reas
