Reproducing Recurrent Transformers: The CoTFormer

arXiv:2607. 19405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The CoTFormer architecture formalizes Chain-of-Thought as a form of recurrent latent computation, preserving intermediate states as attendable representations to mimic explicit reasoning traces.

Statistical Early Stopping for Reasoning Models

arXiv:2602. 13935v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While LLMs have seen substantial improvement in reasoning capabilities, they also sometimes overthink, generating unnecessary reasoning steps, particularly under uncertainty, given ill-posed or ambiguous queries.

Knowledge-Centric Self-Improvement

arXiv:2607. 19592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving AI systems typically treat the agent as the object that improves, by optimizing prompts, workflows, harnesses, or even the agent's own code.

Beyond Fail-to-Pass: Iterative Hardening of Co-Generated Bug Reproduction Tests and Fixes

arXiv:2607. 19843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have made automated program repair (APR) increasingly practical for real-world bugs, but repairing directly from bug reports remains underconstrained.
