Google DeepMind releases T5Gemma encoder-decoder LLMs adapted from Gemma

Google DeepMind has introduced T5Gemma, a new family of encoder-decoder large language models derived from their existing Gemma 2 models. This adaptation technique allows for flexible combinations of encoder and decoder sizes, enabling a better balance between model quality and inference efficiency. Experiments show T5Gemma models achieve performance comparable to or exceeding their decoder-only Gemma counterparts across various benchmarks, offering significant advantages in speed and accuracy for tasks like math reasoning and reading comprehension.

    The Recurrent Transformer: Greater Effective Depth and Efficient Decoding

    Transformers process tokens in parallel but are temporally shallow: at position $t$, each layer attends to key-value pairs computed based on the previous layer, yielding a depth capped by the number of layers. Recurrent models offer unbounded temporal depth but suffer from optimi…
