SanSi loops a 1.4B model's layers to improve decision accuracy
Overview
SanSi reruns the layers of Ouro-1.4B up to 8 times and reads option probabilities after each loop, so it can stop early or keep looping, according to a paper described by Rohan Paul on X.
On 10,027 test decisions, SanSi scored 72.0% against 58.4% for a same-shape model without loops, using 7.7 times the compute. On liar chains longer than any seen in training, it reached 72.6%, while a 4.2B single-pass model scored 50.0%, the chance level.

Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_aiXSanSi loops a 1.4B model to beat same-size single-pass decisionsAISanSi reruns the layers of Ouro-1.4B up to 8 times and reads option probabilities after each loop, so it can stop early or run longer. On 10,027 test decisions it scored 72.0% against 58.4% for a same-shape model without loops, at 7.7x the compute. On liar chains longer than its training data, it reached 72.6% while a 4.2B single-pass model scored 50.0%, chance level.
