Adaptive Reasoning

🔍 Summary

Stephanie, a self-improving system, is built on a powerful belief:

If an AI can evaluate its own understanding, it can reshape itself.

This principle fuels every part of her design from embedding to scoring to tuning.

At the heart of this system is a layered reasoning pipeline:

• MRQ offers directional, reinforcement-style feedback.
• EBT provides uncertainty-aware judgments and convergence guidance.
• SVM delivers fast, efficient evaluations for grounded comparisons.

These models form Stephanie’s subconscious engine the part of her mind that runs beneath explicit thought, constantly shaping her understanding. But like any subconscious, its clarity depends on how raw experience is represented.

Summary

Chain-of-thought is powerful, but which chain? Short explanations work for easy tasks, long reflections help on hard ones, and code sometimes beats them both. What if your model could adaptively pick the best strategy, per task, and improve as it learns?

The Adaptive Reasoning Model (ARM) is a framework for teaching language models how to choose the right reasoning format direct answers, chain-of-thoughts, or code depending on the task. It works by evaluating responses, scoring them based on rarity, conciseness, and difficulty alignment, and then updating model behavior over time.
