Tiny Recursive Model (TRM)

Samsung SAIL Montreal · 6 October 2025

A 7M-parameter, 2-layer recursive network reaches 45% on ARC-AGI-1 and 8% on ARC-AGI-2, above several far larger LLMs.

Strips HRM down to one tiny network that recursively refines its own answer. Gets higher generalisation than HRM on Sudoku, mazes and ARC. Claims score above DeepSeek R1, o3-mini and Gemini 2.5 Pro on these puzzles with under 0.01% of the parameters.

Single author Alexia Jolicoeur-Martineau. Task-specific training on ARC-style data, so not comparable to general LLM scores.
