OpenMythos

OpenMythos is an experimental, open-source implementation that attempts to reconstruct a hypothesized architecture behind advanced language models using a design called a Recurrent-Depth Transformer. The project explores the idea that instead of stacking hundreds of unique transformer layers, a smaller set of layers can be reused iteratively during inference to achieve deeper reasoning without increasing parameter count. It divides computation into three main stages, including a pre-processing phase, a looped recurrent reasoning block, and a final output refinement stage, creating a structured pipeline for inference. The architecture incorporates advanced techniques such as mixture-of-experts routing, adaptive computation time, and multiple attention mechanisms to dynamically allocate compute where needed. It is highly configurable through a centralized configuration system, allowing experimentation with different architectural parameters such as loop depth, attention type.
