This video explains the Tiny Recursive Model paper, which introduces a simplified version of the Hierarchical Reasoning Model

Original Description

In this video, we break down the paper Less is More: Recursive Reasoning with Tiny Networks, which introduces the Tiny Recursive Model (TRM), a simplified version of the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM). With only 7 million parameters, TRM outperforms HRM and even top reasoning LLMs on challenging benchmarks such as ARC-AGI, Sudoku-Extreme, and Mazes. We’ll break down its architecture and training process, and explore its results.
