SPS Transformer: Separating State and Prediction
burny_tech · x · 2026-07-15
The author shared a new approach: the State-Prediction Separation (SPS) Transformer.
The core idea is to decouple the two roles traditionally handled by a single hidden state in Transformers:
- One part is dedicated to maintaining state
- The other focuses on predicting the next token
The post claims that this state/prediction separation design outperforms standard Transformers.
