Wow, so not only are the findings from https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.21734 (posted on HN a while back) confirmed, they're generalizable? Intriguing. I wonder if this will pan out in practical use cases, it'd be transformative. Also would possibly instantly void the value of trillions of pending AI datacenter capex, which would be funny. (Though possibly not for very long.)

There’s the hierarchical reasoning model https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.21734 but it’s very new and largely untested Though honestly I don’t think new neural network architectures are going to get us over this local maximum, I think the next steps forward involve something that’s 1. Non lossy 2. Readily interpretable

This paper I read from here has an interesting mathematical model for reasoning based on cognitive science. https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.21734 (there is also code here https://github.com/sapientinc/HRM) I think we will see dramatic performance increases on "reasoning" problems when this is worked into existing AI architectures.

Link to paper here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.21734 Still reading, but the benchmarks for ARC-AGI-1, ARC-AGI-2, Sudoku-Extreme (9x9), and Maze-Hard (30x30) look impressive.

sapientinc/HRM: Hierarchical Reasoning Model: https://github.com/sapientinc/HRM : > [...] Inspired by the hierarchical and multi-timescale processing in the human brain, we propose the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM), a novel recurrent architecture that attains significant computational depth while maintaining both training stability and efficiency. HRM executes sequential reasoning tasks in a single forward pass without explicit supervision of the intermediate process, through two interdependent recurrent modules: a high-level module responsible for slow, abstract planning, and a…

Hi HN, We've seen LLMs struggle with complex, multi-step reasoning tasks. The common approach, Chain-of-Thought (CoT), often requires massive datasets, is brittle, and suffers from high latency. To tackle this, we developed the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM), a novel recurrent architecture inspired by how the human brain processes information across different timescales (as seen in the diagram on the left). It's a small model that packs a huge punch. Here are the key highlights: Extremely Lightweight: Only 27 million parameters. Data Efficient: Trained with just 1000 samples for the…
