Chollet: test-time scaling gains a 3rd axis with latent-space iterations in looped transformers
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-06
François Chollet frames test-time scaling as having two axes—depth (running agents longer) and breadth (running more agents for broad search)—and observes a third emerging axis: latent-space reasoning iterations in looped transformers. A conceptual contribution to how test-time compute can be scaled.
