Replace selected dense neural-network operators by low-rank factors whose rank is selected by a randomized residual test at a user-specified tolerance. Construct candidate bases in large blocks for efficient matrix operations, then prune the block to the smallest rank that passes the residual criterion instead of treating the block size as the final rank.
Replace a dense token-mixing, MLP, or low-rank-adapter projection with a Bernoulli-signed sparse matrix normalized by the paper's predicted operator scale. Estimate the active representation dimension and use the effective scale to detect regimes in which extreme sparsity is likely to cause unstable amplification or dead rows.
Replace a fixed top-k expert count with a stochastic, token-specific fanout generated by a supercritical binary branching process stopped at a geometric time. The resulting number of active experts has finite mean but a power-law tail with log-periodic modulation, allowing most tokens to use little compute while reserving larger computation for difficult or ambiguous tokens.
