The approach stabilizes the previously unstable hyperconnection concept through doubly stochastic matrix constraints, achieving consistent performance gains across benchmarks with only 6.7% compute overhead through aggressive hardware optimization. Testing on a 27B parameter model showed improvements across all benchmarks with better training behavior and scalability. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
