LT2: Linear-Time Looped Transformers

Chunyuan Deng, Yizhe Zhang, Rui-Jie Zhu, Yuanyuan Xu, Jiarui Liu, T. S. Eugene Ng, Hanjie Chen

Combines looping with linear, sparse and hybrid token mixers to explore more efficient repeated computation.

Inside the method

[ Linear / sparse / hybrid mixer ] × R

Simplified conceptual schematic. Consult the paper for the complete architecture.

Recurrence family
Full-stack recurrence
Depth control
Iteration budget
KV / state strategy
Mixer-dependent state

Reading note

The Full+GDN variant still includes full attention; not all variants have strictly linear attention complexity.
