Recursive Language Models Meet Uncertainty: The Surprising Effectiveness of Self-Reflective Program Search for Long Context

Keivan Alizadeh, Parshin Shojaee, Minsik Cho +1

Long-context handling remains a core challenge for language models: even with extended context windows, models often fail to reliably extract, reason over, and use the information…
