A new paper explores the limitations of autoregressive token generation in AI models, focusing on sequential samplers that generate the next symbol based on previous ones. The research demonstrates that sequential samplers with limited state can be simulated by stateless ones with a significant overhead. It also shows that efficient insertional sampling is more powerful than sequential sampling in fixed orders and that small-state sequential samplers cannot establish certain cryptographic channels, potentially offering a safety mechanism against malicious AI agent coordination.
