arXiv:2606.07574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Manifold-constrained hyper-connections (mHCs) have recently been proposed as a principled extension of hyper-connections, where the residual mixing matrices are constrained to be doubly stochastic via projection onto the Birkhoff polytope. In practical mHC implementations, this constraint is enforced by Sinkhorn-Knopp iterations, and the backward pass relies on unrolling the iterative solver. This design introduces substantial computation and memory overhead, and may also yield inaccurate projections when the algorithm converges slowly on chall
