Recursive reasoning models apply a small shared Transformer block many times to refine a latent state. This gives them large effective depth with few parameters and makes them strong on algorithmic tasks. Such compact solvers are natural candidates for tools that an LLM can call on narrow algorithmic subproblems. Howev …

Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate sequences by progressively unmasking several tokens per denoising step, but their reverse process is typically factorized over positions, limiting sample quality in the few-step regime where diffusion's speed advantage over autoregressive decoding matters most. A recent line of w …

Language models can now prove theorems, but people still decide which problems to pursue. We ask whether a model's internal representations can help identify promising mathematical connections. We develop LANTERN, a fast, cost-efficient pipeline that uses a classifier over pretrained-model activations to rank candidate …

While Large Language Models (LLMs) rely on highly non-linear components, in this work we demonstrate that they exhibit fundamental linearity: when inputs from distinct text streams are linearly combined, the model outputs a superposition of the individual next-token distributions. We term this the \textit{Superposition …
