Penelope: Localized Latent Recurrence for Efficient Structured Reasoning
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- Penelope is a framework that performs structured reasoning inside transformer decoder layers using localized recurrent computation instead of visible chain-of-thought tokens.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers optimizing inference latency and cost on reasoning tasks where chain-of-thought expansion significantly increases output length.
- Watch out
- Results shown on open-source benchmarks only. Unclear how well latent reasoning generalizes to domains beyond structured reasoning or to different model scales.
