Beyond looped transformers: dynamic test-time computation and self-introspection as the real lever
PlisSergey · x · 2026-09-03
Arguing the real leverage lies in dynamic test-time computation rather than recurrent depth, bobthemaster cites MIND over Body (ICLR Oral, beating ResNet-50 on ImageNet with 3 layers at 96.62%), Change of Thought (+20% accuracy via attention converging to fixed points, breaking the TC^0 ceiling), and Fixed-Point Self-Attention (zero extra parameters). PlisSergey adds that nested feedback and multi-level introspection are needed for autonomous sovereign AI.
