More Expressive Feedforward Layers: Part I. Token-Adaptive Mixing of Activations

Researchers propose Mixture of Activations (MoA), a novel feedforward network design that dynamically selects activation functions per token rather than applying a single fixed function across all inputs. Theoretical analysis proves MoA offers strict expressivity advantages over fixed-activation networks, while empirical testing on language models up to 2B parameters demonstrates consistent improvements in loss metrics with minimal computational overhead.

Tracing Computation Density in LLMs

Researchers introduce the s-Trace method to analyze how transformer-based LLMs utilize their computational capacity, revealing that model computation organizes into two distinct phases: a sparse early-layer core providing rough predictions, refined through denser later-layer computations. The findings suggest LLMs operate with modular efficiency rather than fully exploiting their parameter capacity across all inputs.

Sparsity Moves Computation: How FFN Architecture Reshapes Attention in Small Transformers

Researchers studying one-layer Transformers discovered that architectural choices in feedforward networks (FFNs)—particularly sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) routing—fundamentally reshape how attention mechanisms learn to compute, with sparsity rather than learned specialization driving this computational redistribution.

Extracting and Steering Emotion Representations in Small Language Models: A Methodological Comparison

Researchers conducted the first comprehensive analysis of emotion representations in small language models (100M-10B parameters), finding that these models do possess internal emotion vectors similar to larger frontier models. The study evaluated 9 models across 5 architectural families and discovered that emotion representations localize at middle transformer layers, with generation-based extraction methods proving superior to comprehension-based approaches.
