Looped Transformers offer a parameter-efficient route to test-time scaling by reusing shared layers for iterative latent reasoning. However, additional iterations can reduce support for a reference an...
arXiv:2606. 31779v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models typically reason via explicit chain-of-thought (CoT), generating intermediate steps token-by-token.

The paper proposes InfiLoop, a loop-native residual connection designed for looped Transformers to prevent performance degradation as iterations increase. InfiLoop learns which past computations to retain and how much to accept from each new update, using content-based weighting and learned temporal decay to maintain a running summary of recurrent states. The approach yields strong results on reasoning tasks, achieving 97.9% exact accuracy on Sudoku-Extreme and 13.6% pass@2 on ARC-AGI-2, and continues to improve with over 20,000 test-time iterations.

The paper introduces InfiLoop, a loop-native residual connection designed for looped Transformers to prevent performance degradation as iterations increase. InfiLoop learns which past computations to retain and how much to accept from each new update, combining content-based weighting with learned temporal decay to maintain a running summary of recurrent states. Across extensive reasoning tasks, a 7M-parameter InfiLoop model outperforms existing recursive architectures, achieving 97.9% exact accuracy on Sudoku-Extreme and 13.6% pass@2 on ARC-AGI-2, and continues to improve with test-time looping beyond 20,000 effective steps.
