Summary
According to a post on X by @SenseTime_AI, SenseTime has released SenseNova Loop-9B-Preview, a 9B looped transformer. The company says the model reuses shared-parameter loops and Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections to scale compute depth rather than model size. SenseTime claims it delivers 27B-class results and beats Qwen3.5-27B on WorkBuddy Bench, RaccoonPPT Bench and AutomationBench. The post says the weights are on Hugging Face and the code is on GitHub.

What happened
SenseTime released a 9B looped transformer that reuses shared-parameter loops plus Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections to scale compute depth rather than model size. It says the model delivers 27B-class results, beating Qwen3.5-27B on WorkBuddy Bench, RaccoonPPT Bench and AutomationBench, with weights on...
Why it matters
Developers and businesses looking for smaller open models may want to test whether the claimed 27B-class performance holds up on their own tasks. The approach adds compute depth through loops instead of adding parameters, which could matter if the design proves efficient in practice. Watch for independent benchmark results and community evaluations, since these claims currently come from the company's own post.
