Stream Recursion Model (SRM)

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The Stream Recursion Model (SRM) is a new architecture that modifies the Hierarchical Reasoning Model to make internal computational structures more interpretable. SRM organizes computation into multiple interacting latent streams that are updated through recursive refinement, allowing direct analysis of stream dynamics, causal contribution, and routing behavior. The model achieves performance comparable to GPT‑2 on a per‑parameter basis and shows consistent, distinct behavior across streams, indicating structured specialization and interaction.

Chained Recursive Language Models for Multi-Iteration Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 05124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long context reasoning in large language models (LLMs) is usually constrained by the fact that a single inference trajectory has to simultaneously explore the context, store intermediate state, verify evidence, and produce the final answer.

MURANO: Design, Run, and Reproduce Mechanistic Interpretability Experiments as Composable Pipelines

MURANO is an open‑source framework that enables researchers to design, run, and reproduce mechanistic interpretability experiments on large language models. It unifies the five key stages—loading, recording, attribution, intervention, and evaluation—into composable pipeline steps that exchange named artifacts and use canonical addresses for interoperability. The authors demonstrate the framework with reproductions of existing studies and a sparse autoencoder case study, showing its practical applicability across disciplines.

Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Propositional Logical Reasoning in Large Language Models

The paper investigates how large language models perform propositional logical reasoning by conducting a causal mechanistic analysis on the PropLogic-MI benchmark. It identifies four interlocking mechanisms—Staged Computation, Information Transmission, Fact Retrospection, and Specialized Attention Heads—that organize the reasoning process across layers. The study demonstrates that these mechanisms recur across different model families, rule categories, and reasoning hops, indicating a structured, layer‑organized internal process for propositional reasoning.
