Most important paper of 2024.
The idea that we want models not to have to use the same amount of compute for every token has been around for a while. This is the first compelling mechanism I've seen for doing it.
> Equipped with these new methods, we can sample autoregressively by choosing to route tokens to or around a block based on the router’s output, which does not depend on any information from future tokens. We provide empirical evidence that this is a relatively easy auxiliary task that quickly achieves 99% accuracy.
Does anyone else find this is a bit surprising?
