Recursion's role in long-context language models debated in new paper

A new paper explores the effectiveness of recursion in Recursive Language Models (RLMs) for handling long contexts. Researchers tested SRLM, which samples eight context-interaction programs and selects the most confident, shortest one. This method achieved up to a 22.6-point improvement over RLMs with recursion enabled, though the necessity of recursion remains an open question, especially since sub-calls under GPT-5 utilize a weaker GPT-5-mini model.
