Tree-Ising targets repetitive reasoning through weight edits.

Tree-Ising fixes reasoning loops by editing model weights. Its authors estimate $0.90 in GPU costs per fixed-recipe run.

An optimizer chooses changes without calling another language model.

Using Qwen3.5-0.8B, after 100 MATH-500 problems informed early screening, the remaining 400 yielded 53.8% versus 50.8% for an agent-written repair, averaging four answers per problem.

This small-model preprint is no universal repair service. Costs exclude development, and the recipe reuses previously identified layers.
