Loop.

Does more depth require more parameters?

ThenewB drawing #02, “Loop”. Above, a linear chain of four blocks. Below, a single core run N times. Caption: more depth does not mean more parameters.

In ten seconds

According to The Information, Astra reportedly brings recurrent depth into a frontier AI model: one core processes the information several times instead of stacking layers.

According to The Information, Astra reportedly brings recurrent depth into a frontier AI model: one core processes the information several times instead of stacking layers.

Paradox

Power no longer comes from size alone. A model can think longer without growing.

Implication

The cost of an answer will depend on the number of passes, not just on the model chosen. AI budgets and controls will have to follow actual usage.
