## Summary

Ai2 says a flexible Gated DeltaNet handled sequences about 10 times longer than its training data on StateBench's hardest level. The company also reports a new proof that Gated DeltaNet with non-negative eigenvalues can solve some periodic tasks under fixed-precision arithmetic with rounding.

On StateBench’s hardest level, a flexible Gated DeltaNet handled sequences ~10× longer than those seen in training.

Our new proof shows that even Gated DeltaNet with non-negative eigenvalues can solve some periodic tasks under fixed-precision arithmetic with rounding.
