Latent Reasoning Landscape in 2026: Mapping BDH-CQ, HRM/TRM, Coconut [D]

The trajectory toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) may be shifting away from complex, verbose chains of thought and toward latent reasoning—architectures that operate beyond the token stream. Our analysis, "Latent Reasoning Landscape in 2026," maps five distinct families of this emerging approach, from continuous autoregressive models like Coconut to task-trained recursive solvers. This exploration highlights BDH-CQ's impressive performance and scaling potential. As we move toward more efficient models, the question arises: what becomes of the readable traces crucial for interpretability?

I implemented a very tiny image generation model (latent flow transformer) on a RP2350 microcontroller - it can generate 128x128 images of faces [P]

Astonishingly, a compact latent flow transformer model—ranging from 2.4 to 4 million parameters and quantized to int8—can now generate 128x128 face images directly on an RP2350 microcontroller in approximately 20 seconds. Utilizing AdaLN-Zero conditioning and CFG guidance, this innovative implementation streams weights via DMA from flash, leveraging ReLU² activation for increased sparsity and computational efficiency.

Continual Learning of Frontier Models for SovereignAI. Tech Report + Open Weights Model [R]

Frontier AI model development is often perceived as the domain of large, well-funded organizations, creating an imbalance in access and power. This report challenges that notion, arguing that continual learning on readily available open-weight models empowers a wider range of institutions to achieve frontier performance and build SovereignAI capabilities. Introducing Thomson, a new model demonstrating competitive results across diverse domains—including agentic tasks and multilingualism—with significantly reduced compute costs. As highlighted in our recent article, "Prompt injection ranks No.
