Researchers have developed a novel technique called Mixture-of-Depths (MoD) that dynamically allocates computational resources within transformer models. By introducing a small router in each block, MoD identifies and processes only the most important tokens, allowing less critical ones to bypass computation and ride the residual connection. This approach significantly reduces FLOPs by dynamically allocating depth per token at a fixed total budget, achieving performance comparable to dense models with approximately 50% fewer computations.
