LBR performs token-level test-time scaling via local branch routing on hidden states, enabling end-to-end RL training and improving Pass@1 and Pass@32 on math benchmarks over CoT and RLVR baselines.
Relaxing join orders to a differentiable soft adjacency matrix and optimizing with gradients plus a GNN cost model yields plans that match or beat discrete search while scaling better on graph datasets.
CCDD defines a joint multimodal diffusion on continuous representation space and discrete token space to combine expressivity with explicit token supervision for diffusion language models.
FPRM is a Transformer-based model using fixed-point convergence for adaptive halting in looped architectures, claimed effective on Sudoku, Maze, state-tracking, and ARC-AGI benchmarks.
Dropout-GRPO uses structured dropout to generate trajectory variance for GRPO in latent-reasoning models like Coconut, raising GSM8K pass@1 from 27.29% to 29.01%.
GRAM is a latent-variable generative model that performs recursive reasoning via stochastic trajectories, trained with amortized variational inference to support multi-hypothesis reasoning and unconditional generation.
A large model generates a compact reasoning signal that a small model uses to solve tasks, reducing the large model's output tokens by up to 60% on benchmarks like AIME and GPQA.
LLM agent committees exhibit representational collapse with mean cosine similarity of 0.888, and diversity-aware consensus reaches 87% accuracy on GSM8K versus 84% for self-consistency at lower cost.
PTRM adds stochastic Gaussian noise to Tiny Recursive Model recursion for parallel trajectory exploration and Q-head selection, raising Sudoku-Extreme accuracy from 87.4% to 98.75% and Pencil Puzzle Bench from 62.6% to 91.2% without retraining.
Injecting noise into LLM latent trajectories creates diverse reasoning paths whose agreement acts as a confidence signal for selective abstention, cutting error rates from 40-70% to under 15% on math tasks.
LEPO applies RL to continuous latent representations in LLMs by injecting Gumbel-Softmax stochasticity for diverse trajectory sampling and unified gradient estimation, outperforming existing discrete and latent RL methods.
DRAFT decouples agent safety judgment into latent extraction and reasoning stages, raising average benchmark accuracy from 63.27% to 91.18%.
A 1.4B and a 2.6B looped (weight-tied, recurrent-depth) language model trained on 7.7T tokens match or exceed several 4B–8B transformer baselines on selected reasoning benchmarks.
