Abstract
We present Loopie, the most powerful looped Transformer to date. The Loopie series consists of two Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models: a 20B-parameter model with 2B active parameters and a 6Bparameter model with 0.6B active parameters. Looped Transformers have long faced a challenge: given an N-fold increase in pre-training compute, increasing the parameter count by a factor of N usually outperforms looping a model N times. Loopie addresses this challenge. Extensive ablation studies, including comparisons with a vanilla 30B-A3B model, show that Loopie substantially outperforms vanilla Transformer baselines trained with the same compute budget. Our novel post-training pipeline equips Loopie with strong reasoning abilities. At the 2025 IMO and IPhO, Loopie achieves gold-medal performance without tools.
