Relaxed Recursive Transformers: Effective Parameter Sharing with Layer-wise LoRA

Sangmin Bae, Adam Fisch, Hrayr Harutyunyan, Ziwei Ji, Seungyeon Kim, Tal Schuster

Converts pretrained Transformers into recursive models, relaxing sharing with depth-specific low-rank adaptations.

Inside the method

[ Shared layers + depth LoRA ] × R

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

Recurrence family
Full-stack recurrence
Depth control
Recursion budget
KV / state strategy
Continuous depth-wise batching

Reading note

The reported batching throughput gains are based on analysis and simulation; distinguish them from end-to-end serving measurements.
