SimpleHC cuts Hyper-Connections training overhead to 2.4% over a plain residual model

According to a post on X by @aHapBean, a Shanghai Jiao Tong-led team says DeepSeek's mHC residual design adds 59 to 100% training overhead in a plain PyTorch implementation. The team proposes SimpleHC, which drops residual mixing and shares memory access across groups of four sublayers. The post cites an arXiv paper reporting 2.4% extra end-to-end training time at the largest tested width. The snippet is cut off, so further details are not available here.

A Shanghai Jiao Tong-led team says DeepSeek's mHC residual design adds 59 to 100% training overhead in a plain PyTorch implementation, and proposes SimpleHC, which drops residual mixing and shares memory access across groups of four sublayers.

Teams training large models may care about the cost of architecture changes, since the reported overhead gap is large between the two designs. If the reported figures hold up, SimpleHC could make residual-mixing variants easier to adopt. Readers should check the arXiv paper for the full benchmark setup before drawing conclusions.
