+# PaCoRe: Learning to Scale Test-Time Compute with Parallel Coordinated Reasoning

+[**Read the Paper**](https://github.com/stepfun-ai/PaCoRe/blob/main/pacore_report.pdf) | [**Download Models**](https://huggingface.co/stepfun-ai/PaCoRe-8B) | [**Training Data**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/stepfun-ai/PaCoRe-Train-8k)

+
+## 📖 Overview
+
+We introduce **PaCoRe (Parallel Coordinated Reasoning)**, a framework that shifts the driver of inference from sequential depth to **coordinated parallel breadth**, breaking the model context limitation and massively scaling test time compute: 
+*   **Think in Parallel:** PaCoRe launches massive parallel exploration trajectories.
+*   **Coordinate in Multi-rounds:** It employs a message-passing architecture to compact these thoughts into concise messages and synthesize them to guide the next round.
+
+Trained via large-scale, outcome-based reinforcement learning, PaCoRe masters the **Reasoning Synthesis** capabilities required to reconcile diverse parallel insights. 
+
+The approach yields strong improvements across diverse domains, and notably pushes reasoning beyond frontier systems in mathematics: an 8B model reaches 94.5\% on HMMT 2025, surpassing GPT-5’s 93.2\% by scaling effective TTC to roughly two million tokens.
+
+We open-source model checkpoints, training data, and the full inference pipeline to accelerate follow-up work!

+
+*Table 1 | For each benchmark, we report accuracy together with total TTC (in thousands). For *Low*, *Medium*, and *High*, we apply the inference trajectory configuration as $\vec{K}=[4]$, $[16]$, and $[32, 4]$ separately.*
+
+
+### Key Findings
+* **Message Passing Unlocks Scaling.** Without compaction, performance flatlines at the context limit. PaCoRe breaks the memory barrier and lets reasoning scale freely.
+* **Breadth > Depth.** All compute is not equal. Coordinated parallel reasoning delivers far higher returns than extending a single chain. 
+* **Data as a Force Multiplier.** The PaCoRe corpus provides exceptionally valuable supervision—even baseline models see substantial gains when trained on it.
+
+## Getting Started 🚀
+### Data
+The data is provided as a `list[dict]`, where each entry represents a training instance:
+*   `conversation`: The original problem/prompt messages.
+*   `responses`: A list of cached generated responses (trajectories). These serve as the **input messages ($M$)** used during PaCoRe training.
+*   `ground_truth`: The verifiable answer used for correctness evaluation.
+
+### Model Serving
+You can directly use `vllm serve` to serve the model! More inference details of PaCoRe will be handled in Inference Pipeline. 
+
+### Inference Pipeline
+![](/figure/inference_pipeline_teaser_02.png)
+
+*Figure 3 | Inference pipeline of PaCoRe. Each round launches broad parallel exploration, compacts the resulting trajectories into compacted messages, and feeds these messages together with the question forward to coordinate the next round.  Repeating this process $\hat{R}$ times yields multi-million-token effective TTC while respecting fixed context limits, with the final compacted message serving as the system’s answer.*

+## 🔮 Future Work
+We are just scratching the surface of parallel coordinated reasoning. Our roadmap includes:
+- **Scaling the Extremes**: We plan to apply PaCoRe to stronger foundation models, expanding the task domains, and further scaling up both the breadth (parallel trajectories) and depth (coordination rounds) to tackle challenges currently deemed unsolvable.
+- **Boosting Token Intelligence Density**: While we currently scale by volume, we aim to maximize the utility of every unit of compute spent. This involves enabling more efficient parallel exploration through better organization, cooperation, and division of labor among trajectories.
+- **Emergent Multi-Agent Intelligence**: We are interested in exploring the joint training of both the synthesis policy and the message-passing mechanism, laying minimal yet rich cooperative multi-agent learning environment, offering a valuable playground for studying emergent communication, self-organization, and collective intelligence.
+- **Ouroboros for Pre- and Post-Training**: we intend to investigate the development of advanced synthetic data generation techniques with PaCoRe pipeline to improve both current pretraining and post-training processes.
