Recirculation Mechanism Verified: +17% GSM8K with Zero Weight Changes
savvyRL · x · 2026-08-20
A developer independently verified Google's inference-time recurrence mechanism, which allows frozen off-the-shelf LLMs to act as dynamical systems by leaking deep representations back to shallow layers. Reproduction on Llama 3.2 1B (M4 MacBook) showed a +16.95% improvement on GSM8K-Platinum with zero weight changes. Reproduction code and optimized mlx prefill kernel are available.
