Graph Machine architecture replaces Transformer layers with sparse routing

Researchers have developed a new architecture called Graph Machine (GM) that utilizes sparse dynamic routing and differentiable pointer chasing to achieve linear state complexity. This design allows for the efficient replacement of dense Transformer layers with minimal loss in performance. In experiments, replacing 75% of the dense layers in the Qwen3-0.6B model with GM sparse layers and pretraining on 15.7 billion tokens resulted in only a slight degradation of validation loss, and in some cases, a marginal improvement.
