# notebooks/02_mixture_of_recursions_demo.ipynb| Size | Hidden Size | Attention Heads | Layers | Max Recursion Depth | Parameters |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 256 | 8 | 4 | 3 | ~33M |
| Medium | 512 | 16 | 8 | 4 | ~135M |
| Large | 1024 | 32 | 16 | 6 | ~1.7B |
- Different tokens receive different amounts of computation
- Complex tokens (e.g., "revolutionizing") get deeper processing
- Simple tokens (e.g., "the", "a") get lighter processing
- Automatic efficiency optimization
- Same transformer layers reused across depths
- Dramatically reduces model size vs. standard transformers
- Maintains quality while improving efficiency
- Learned Thresholds: Dynamic depth assignment with trainable thresholds
- Efficiency-Aware: Balances performance vs. computational cost
- Multi-Scale: Hierarchical attention at different resolutions
