Description

In this episode, we discuss Hierarchical Reasoning Model by Guan Wang, Jin Li, Yuhao Sun, Xing Chen, Changling Liu, Yue Wu, Meng Lu, Sen Song, Yasin Abbasi Yadkori. The paper introduces the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM), a recurrent architecture inspired by the brain's hierarchical processing that achieves deep, efficient reasoning in a single forward pass. HRM uses two interdependent modules for abstract planning and detailed computation, enabling it to excel on complex tasks like Sudoku and maze solving with minimal data and no pre-training. It outperforms larger models on the ARC benchmark, highlighting its promise for advancing general-purpose AI reasoning.
