Researchers have introduced a novel gating mechanism called "Review Residuals" for transformer models, designed to improve training stability and performance, particularly at scale. This method scales sublayer updates using a learned, input-dependent gate, which differs from standard residual connections. Experiments show that while a convex form of the gate struggles with depth, the additive, identity-preserving form trains stably across various depths. Furthermore, Review Residuals demonstrate a significant performance advantage over standard residuals and Highway gates in models ranging from 590 million to 1 billion parameters, with benefits increasing with model size.
