Reinforcement pre-training for looped language models that reframes next-token prediction as next-token reasoning and assigns rewards directly to latent steps using an EMA teacher reference and noisy latent rollouts.

Inside the method

[ Shared stack ] × R with RL signals on latent steps

Simplified conceptual schematic. Consult the paper for the complete architecture.

Reading note

Instantiated on Ouro at several scales; improves per-step representation quality, gives Pareto gains in accuracy versus computation, with large gains on hard tokens.
