Recursive latent reasoner boosts diffusion models for visual puzzles

PaTh solves 92.5% of hard MNIST Sudoku and 71.2% of extreme instances, far surpassing prior methods with far fewer parameters.

The authors propose Painter-Thinker (PaTh), which couples a small recursive reasoner (the Thinker) to a frozen diffusion model (the Painter) via ControlNet adapters.

The authors introduce Painter-Thinker (PaTh), an architecture that separates reasoning from image generation.
