Apple researchers unveil parallel RNN training and enhanced SSMs at ICLR 2026

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple researchers are presenting new work at ICLR 2026, focusing on advancements in recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and state space models (SSMs). Their paper "ParaRNN" introduces a parallelized training framework that enables large-scale RNNs to achieve performance competitive with transformers, releasing the codebase as open-source. Another paper, "To Infinity and Beyond," demonstrates that while SSMs offer efficiency, their performance degrades on long-form generation tasks due to bounded memory, a limitation that can be overcome with external tool access. AI

IMPACT Open-source release of ParaRNN could accelerate research into efficient sequence modeling and LLM development, especially for resource-constrained environments.
