summary: "Hyper-Connections (HC) architectures are adopted in frontier language models but their components are insufficiently understood and introduce training overhead. Learned read/write gating without mixing and unconstrained mixing with fixed gates form two effective interaction groups. SimpleHC simplifies the architecture by removing residual mixing and uses shared memory access."

## Summary

Hyper\-Connections \(HC\) architectures are adopted in frontier language models but their components are insufficiently understood and introduce training overhead\. Learned read/write gating without mixing and unconstrained mixing with fixed gates form two effective interaction groups\. SimpleHC simplifies the architecture by removing residual mixing and uses shared memory access\.
