arXiv:2610.21594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped Transformers improve parameter efficiency by repeatedly applying the same Transformer layers. However, generating each token still involves sequential computation and repeated access to model weights, leading to high decoding latency. Recent pipelined self-speculative decoding methods reduce this delay by drafting tokens from early-loop predictions and asynchronously advancing tokens at different recurrent depths in the same batch, but they do not fully exploit early-loop features for longer lookahead and still spend computation verifying
