DeepMind depth-recurrence patent fuels speculation about Gemini's next architecture
creatoroff · x · 2026-09-10
A Gemini Notebook video breakdown of Google DeepMind patent US12536408B2 (granted Jan 27, 2026, priority May 2018) is fueling "Gemini 4?" speculation. The Universal Transformers patent covers depth-recurrent computation—letting representations undergo repeated internal processing before emitting output, so the model can spend more compute on hard problems without just generating longer reasoning traces. Unverified speculation, but an interesting architectural hint.
