Abstract:We introduce Mobius-v0, an architecture that comprises a globally shared Memory (FFN) that stores knowledge vectors and multiple Reasoners (Self-Attn) that iteratively achieve compositional reasoning. Using hidden states as cache and carrier, reasoners repeatedly query memory for required knowledge-vectors, while the knowledge is transmitted back to reasoning operators. Through this knowledge-reasoning-separation architecture, Mobius achieves better knowledge compression and reasoning efficiency. Built upon Mobius-v0 architecture: 1) Our 7B model trained-from-scratch achieves similar downstream score as a 7B Transformer baseline with 62.6% of baseline's training data. 2) Our Intern-S2-Mobius, continually-pretrained from Qwen3.5-35B, achieves similar downstream score while delivering nearly 4x end-to-end inference speedup.
Abstract:Long-context reasoning remains a critical bottleneck for large language models, as recent recurrent-memory approaches face two inherent challenges: sequential chunk-wise updates can overwrite early critical evidence with later irrelevant content, and serial inter-chunk dependencies limit parallelism and cause latency to increase with context length. To address these issues, we propose PI-Mem (Parallel-Iterative Memory), a mechanism that processes all chunks in parallel and iteratively refines a shared memory over a bounded number of turns. In each turn, PI-Mem reads all chunks in parallel conditioned on the current memory, selects new or complementary evidence from each chunk, and merges the selected evidence into a compact shared memory for the next turn. To discourage redundant turns, we optimize the workflow through reinforcement learning with an auxiliary turn-efficiency reward, enabling the model to adaptively exit once sufficient evidence has been accumulated. We evaluate PI-Mem with Qwen3.5-35B-A3B and Qwen2.5-7B on the HotpotQA benchmark across context lengths up to 3.6 million tokens and find that it outperforms the recurrent-memory baseline by +6.25 and +7.81 absolute points while achieving 6.1$\times$ and 2.1$\times$ inference speedups, respectively. These results demonstrate that PI-Mem breaks the accuracy--efficiency trade-off in long-context reasoning and provides a scalable approach to complex multi-hop question answering over extremely long documents.
