Recsys Series Part 2: From collaborative filtering breakthroughs to generative AI agents that can chat about your preferences and explain their reasoning
While standard models suffer from context rot as data grows, MIT’s new Recursive Language Model (RLM) framework treats prompts like code variables, unlocking infinite context without the retraining costs.
the MIT team reframes long-context reasoning as a systems problem. By letting models treat prompts as something they can inspect with code

Note: Looking at the equations above, if T<0T<0 then the sign of the exponent flips. That means that the states that were previously the least likely are now the most likely, and vice versa. As temperature approaches zero from the negative side, the model output will again be deterministic — but this time, the least likely tokens will be output.
