LOLM: A Hybrid Transformer-SSM Agent Architecture Open-Sourced
OGMYT · reddit · 2026-08-01
A developer introduced LOLM, a hybrid Transformer-SSM language model and agent architecture.
- Core Design: Argues that latent state should not remain passive. A control layer uses measured dynamics to decide when the system retrieves, verifies, branches, continues, or stops.
- Implementation: Features a surface Transformer + latent SSM, persistent memory, agent-level NFET control, task receipts, and matched-baseline evaluation scaffolding.
- Status: The author emphasizes that receipts separate controller activity from task outcomes and model fallbacks, actively seeking community criticism on controller design, benchmark calibration, and ablations.
