AdaPonderLM: Gated Pondering Language Models with Token-Wise Adaptive Depth
Shixiang Song, He Li, Zitong Wang +6
Test-time scaling via recurrent/iterative Transformers enables large language models to spend more computation at inference, but most pretrained recurrent LMs run a fixed number of…

PonderLM-3: Adaptive Token-Wise Pondering with Differentiable Masking
He Li, Feichen Song, Boyi Zeng +4
Test-time scaling has shown that allocating more additional computation at inference can improve generation quality, motivating a natural follow-up question: where should this comp…
