\begin{abstract}
This paper investigates Dynamic Memory Gating (DMG), a novel approach to transformer feedforward networks that employs parallel pattern detection heads with learned gating mechanisms. While theoretically promising for specialized processing of different input patterns, our implementation achieved a validation loss of 5.057 on the FineWeb benchmark, underperforming the SWiGLU baseline (4.927) and current state-of-the-art methods. We analyze the architectural choices, training dynamics, and potential limitations that may have contributed to these results, providing insights for future improvements in adaptive feedforward designs.

\section{Introduction}
Transformer feedforward networks have evolved significantly from their original formulation, with gated mechanisms like GELU and SWiGLU demonstrating consistent improvements. Our work explores whether further gains can be achieved through explicit pattern specialization via dynamic gating across multiple parallel processing heads.

\section{Related Work}
Key influences include:
\begin{itemize}
\item Mixture of Experts approaches \cite{2510.00008}
\item Gated linear units \cite{2510.00005}
\item Activation function variants \cite{2510.00007}
\end{itemize}

\section{Methodology}
DMG processes inputs through:
\begin{itemize}
\item Multiple parallel detection heads (default: 4)
\item Learned gating between heads (softmax/top-k variants)
\item Combined weighted output
\end{itemize}

\section{Results}
Our implementation achieved 5.057 validation loss versus:
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\toprule
Method & Loss \\
\midrule
SWiGLU (baseline) & 4.927 \\
Dual-Gated (SOTA) & 4.793 \\
Our DMG & 5.057 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\section{Discussion}
Potential limitations include:
\begin{itemize}
\item Overhead of gating computation
\item Insufficient head specialization
\item Training instability
\end{itemize}

\section{Conclusion}
While DMG did not outperform baselines, it provides valuable insights into adaptive feedforward designs.
