Recursion could reshape how LLMs scale.

A major problem with current LLM architectures is the difficulty of adapting their computational power to match the performance requirements of specific tasks (low performance requirements should use low computing power, and vice versa).

This article discusses the challenges facing current large language model (LLM) architectures regarding their adaptability to varying computational requirements. It introduces two new papers on recursive models designed to enhance computational efficiency. The first, “Mixture-of-Recursions,” focuses on parameter reuse and aims for efficiency without significantly compromising performance. The second, “Scaling up Test-Time Compute with Latent Reasoning,” implements unlimited recursion to push the boundaries of model capabilities. Ultimately, while both approaches show promise for improving efficiency, the article suggests that combining their strengths may yield the best results in LLM development.
