hypothesis:as-model-size-increases-expanded-capacity-allows-lower-functional-density-potentially-distributing-specific-capabilities-more-broadly-across-layersAs model size increases, expanded capacity allows lower functional density, potentially distributing specific capabilities more broadly across layers
Explains why larger models (gemma-3-12b-it, Qwen3-30B) show multiple transition layers rather than a single one
