Flow Reasoning Models: Scaling Reasoning Through Iterative Self-Refinement
Alec Helbling, Andrey Bryutkin, Mauro Martino, Nima Dehmamy, Hendrik Strobelt
Discrete flow models have recently shown promising performance on few-step text generation; however, when naively applied to structured reasoning tasks such as Sudoku and Zebra puzzles, they converge confidently to incorrect answers (solving only $\sim$36% of Sudoku puzzles). We…
