What happened and what to do

In an article published on September 22, 2026, Mixture-of-Depths proposes allocating compute to specific positions in a sequence across Transformer model layers. Each layer limits how many tokens participate in self-attention and MLP calculations, allowing compute to vary by token within a per-layer budget.

A company developing or operating models can assess this approach in a proof of concept, measuring quality and resource use on its tasks and workloads. Implementation calls for defining metrics, comparing configurations, and monitoring behavior before considering a production change.
