arXiv:2604. 11912v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While next-token prediction (NTP) has been the standard objective for training language models, it often struggles to capture global structure in reasoning tasks.

arXiv:2607. 15178v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer reasoning is limited by autoregressive decoding, which repeat edly compresses rich hidden computation through token space and makes it difficult for intermediate reasoning states to persist across time.

arXiv:2607. 19405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The CoTFormer architecture formalizes Chain-of-Thought as a form of recurrent latent computation, preserving intermediate states as attendable representations to mimic explicit reasoning traces.

arXiv:2607. 25915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complex structured reasoning tasks often require additional computation, yet current language models obtain it mainly by increasing parameter scale or by serializing intermediate steps as chain-of-thought (CoT) tokens.

arXiv:2602. 17993v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Complex problems, whether in math, logic, or planning, are solved by humans through a sequence of steps where the result of one step informs the next.

arXiv:2606. 07108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate remarkable performance improvements by iteratively reflecting, exploring, and executing complex tasks, yet suffer from inefficiencies due to redundant reasoning, known as "overthinking".

arXiv:2607. 10110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work on looped language models suggests that many reasoning problems benefit from greater computational depth rather than from additional independent parameters.

arXiv:2606. 26488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recursive reasoning models can solve complex structured tasks with only a few million parameters by repeatedly updating a latent state.

arXiv:2608. 17981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe an inference-time architectural enhancement for off-the-shelf foundation models that markedly reduces perplexity and boosts accuracy across generation and reasoning tasks.

arXiv:2605. 09165v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Looped language models repeat a set of transformer layers through depth, reducing memory costs and providing natural early-exit points at loop boundaries.
By Ryan Lee, Jacob Biloki, Edward J. Hu, Jonathan May
arXiv:2606. 06574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) perform inference by following a fixed depth and order, non-recurrent execution of all layers.
