- What happened
- Researchers developed CRAM, an energy-based model solving Sudoku and maze puzzles 1,000x faster than looped reasoning models during training.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building reasoning systems who want faster training and lower inference costs on constraint satisfaction problems.
- Watch out
- Results limited to simple puzzles like Sudoku and Maze. Unclear whether speed advantage transfers to harder real-world reasoning tasks.

The patterns behind this
Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
