Accordion model offers flexible inference depth via layer looping

Researchers have developed Accordion, a novel mixture-of-experts model designed for flexible inference across various computational budgets. By employing fixed-prefix layer looping, Accordion supports five distinct inference depths, allowing applications to scale computation based on available resources. This approach enables a single model to perform comparably to specialized models for each budget, with deeper inference yielding improved performance in areas like mathematical reasoning and code generation.
