Model Depth in Transformers
The expressive power of Transformer networks can be effectively enhanced by increasing the model depth, denoted by , which represents the total number of stacked processing layers. In standard BERT architectures, the depth is typically configured to either 12 or 24. However, employing networks with even greater depth is a viable strategy to achieve further performance enhancements.

Critique of the Transformer Architecture's Core Limitation
A research team is building a model to summarize extremely long scientific papers. They are comparing two distinct architectural approaches:
- Approach 1: Processes the input text sequentially, token by token, updating an internal state that is passed from one step to the next.
- Approach 2: Processes all input tokens simultaneously, using a mechanism that directly relates every token to every other token in the input to determine context.

An AI team is developing solutions for two distinct tasks: Task A, which involves classifying short customer reviews as positive or negative, and Task B, which requires generating concise summaries of long, complex legal documents. They have two available models: Model X with 6 stacked processing layers and Model Y with 24 stacked processing layers. Based on the relationship between model depth and capability, which of the following strategies is most appropriate?
