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.

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.

Resample the Answer: Where to Spend Test-Time Compute in Recursive Reasoning

The paper investigates how to allocate test‑time computation in recursive reasoning models, specifically the Tiny Recursive Model (TRM). Experiments show that resampling the answer state (y) is more effective than perturbing the reasoning state (z) for recovering failures, especially as compute budgets increase. The proposed Gated Answer Resampling (GAR) method, which restarts only rejected puzzles, boosts TRM performance from 85.9% to 99.4% on Sudoku‑Extreme and from 68.8% to 85.6% on the Pencil Puzzle Bench, outperforming the probabilistic variant that uses far more compute.
