arXiv:2607. 26504v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many discrete reasoning tasks, such as code generation, are inherently non-causal: programmers move between high-level structure and local details, a process we call any-order inference.

Many discrete reasoning tasks, such as code generation, are inherently non-causal: programmers move between high-level structure and local details, a process we call any-order inference. For autoregressive language models, which lack a native any-order interface, non-causal abilities such as infilling and next-edit prediction require hand-designed mechanisms.

The paper investigates how temporal recurrence affects the required depth of neural networks in streaming tasks. By treating depth, expert width, and parallel experts as a compute‑allocation problem, the authors compare recurrent and non‑recurrent models across various compute budgets. Experiments on Sokoban and FineWeb language modeling show that recurrence shifts the optimal compute allocation toward fewer layers while maintaining or improving performance.
