Two new research papers explore novel techniques for enhancing the capabilities and stability of large transformer models. The first paper introduces a scalable framework for linear mode connectivity (LMC) that allows for the merging of billion-parameter pretrained transformers, demonstrating near-zero loss barriers on WikiText and maintaining high accuracy on ImageNet for vision transformers. The second paper investigates residual scaling in looped transformers, proposing a new scaling factor that improves trainability and allows for direct hyperparameter transfer across different effective depths without retuning.
