Combined with 4-bit Straight-Through Estimator (STE) training from the anoLLM research framework. + +## Architecture: DepthScale + +### Core Innovation: Parameter-Shared Iterative Depth + +Instead of stacking independent transformer layers, DepthScale reuses the **same 5 physical layers** across multiple iterations. Each iteration processes the full sequence through all 5 layers, with **iteration-aware RoPE** that distinguishes pass 1 from pass N. + +``` +Standard 10-layer transformer: + Layer 0 → Layer 1 → ... → Layer 9 + 10 sets of unique weights, 10 layers of depth + +DepthScale (5 layers × 2 iterations): + Iteration 0: Layer 0 → Layer 1 → Layer 2 → Layer 3 → Layer 4 + Iteration 1: Layer 0 → Layer 1 → Layer 2 → Layer 3 → Layer 4 + SAME weights reused, 10 effective layers of depth, 5 sets of weights +``` + +This is related to depth recurrence (PR #745) but with a key difference: **iteration-aware positional encoding**. Standard depth recurrence repeats layers with identical positional context. DepthScale shifts the RoPE frequencies by `ε × iteration`, allowing the model to learn iteration-specific attention patterns. + +```python +# Iteration-aware RoPE (from DepthScale research) +angles = positions × theta + ROPE_ITER_FACTOR × iteration +# ε = 0.1: ~10% influence of iteration vs position +``` + +### Parameter Efficiency + +At 768d, 8 heads, 4x MLP: +- 5 physical layers: ~36M parameters +- 2 iterations: 10 effective layers +- 4 iterations: 20 effective layers +- Parameters stay constant regardless of iteration count + +### I4 Straight-Through Estimator Training + +During training, weight matrices undergo 4-bit quantization simulation via STE: + +```python +# Forward: use quantized weights (4-bit range [-7, 7]) +w_quantized = clamp(round(w / scale), -7, 7) * scale + +# Backward: gradient flows through original weights (straight-through) +w = w + (w_quantized - w).detach() +``` + +This trains the model to be robust to extreme quantization.
