How Meta’s HSTU Architecture Scales Recommendation Systems Beyond Decades of Deep Models

Meta introduces a generative recommendation framework (GR) built on the Hierarchical Sequential Transduction Unit (HSTU) that unifies heterogeneous features, treats user behavior as a new modality, and leverages novel encoder and inference optimizations to achieve order‑of‑magnitude scaling in model size, training compute, and online latency while delivering 12‑18% online gains over traditional deep recommendation models.
