Google DeepMind paper proposes training-free architecture evolution for LLMs

A new paper from Google DeepMind introduces a training-free method to enhance model architectures by enabling them to inform their own modifications. This approach, called recirculation, allows feedforward transformers to act as dynamical systems, feeding activations back through themselves during prefill to track belief states without retraining. This method has shown significant improvements, with an adaptive variant cutting perplexity by 23% and boosting GSM8k accuracy by 21% on the Gemma3 family of models, using only hyperparameter tuning on original weights. AI

IMPACT This training-free approach could lead to more efficient model development and improved performance without extensive retraining.

    You don't often see one-word titles in AI papers. That aside, strong recommend this paper from Google DeepMind. I think this is an interesting training-free approach to evolve model architectures by leveraging the model itself to inform architectural modifications. Something h…
