Simran Arora says he remains bullish on AI architectures that take multiple reads through text when processing and generating responses, framing NCM (iterating on responses), Read Twice (conditioning on repeated text), and Cartridges (multiple synthetic views) as different instantiations of the same principle. A bonus demo shows NCM iteratively refining a solution until it solves a Sudoku puzzle — evidence that iterative multi-pass inference is an emerging architectural direction beyond single forward passes.
