Scaling to Tens of Thousands of Test-Time Iterations with Loop-Native Attention Residuals

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.

Unrolled Flow Models for Reasoning

arXiv:2610.09759v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow matching enables language generation in few steps, but whether additional integration steps improve reasoning remains unclear. We prove that a flo...

Scaling to Tens of Thousands of Test-Time Iterations with Loop-Native Attention Residuals

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.
