Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a simplified version of the Technical Research paper<\/strong> – Small Reasoning Model based on JEPA, World-models with Self-Regulation. This is about Advanced AI Architectures. Wording & content have been softened for business & functional readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decision Intelligence, Objective-driven systems, Limitations of LLMs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A truly autonomous and efficient enterprise system must reason, plan, and act under real-world constraints with changing context & dynamics. This includes latent states or 2nd or 3rd order effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, an aggressive marketing push may increase customer acquisition, but also raise service load, impact brand perception, and eventually influence financial outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-Stage Control System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multi-stage Control vs LLMs Multi-stage reasoning<\/h3>\n\n\n

The above equation depicts the mathematical formulation whereby the model minimizes the cost of a sequence of actions, taken under constraints. Thus maximizing the outcome. On the other hand LLMs mathematical formulation is basically to predict the next token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limitations of LLMs & Road to Small Reasoning models<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

LLMs lack natively built reasoning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Though LLMs can mimic reasoning like behavior, that’s not what LLMs are natively trained on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLMs, basically, at the core of it are next token predictors, not the reasoning, planning systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of world & environmental\/world modelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In view of new information & data, the biggest limitations come that LLMs need to be distilled, fine-tuned or multiple expert agents be orchestrated for multi-dimensional reasoning & planning in a dynamic environment. Though RAG can make pipelines look dynamic, they may start hallucinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-critical or regulation is missing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The biological brain, even in animals, can update their world models based on past experiences & learnings pretty quickly. This comes as self critique view of one’s own action & updating the world model inside our brains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLMs or today’s reasoning models lack this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constraint dynamics are missing <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

LLMs don’t factor in changing constraints with desired quality. As we said, RAG & external systems may improve it, but they don’t update the world model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting it all together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take the same example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aggressive Marketing Push -> Increased Customer Acquisitions -> Increased service load -> Impacts brand Perception -> Impact financial outcomes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sort of Decision system run by humans would need, e.g., a board meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning & executing like board to ops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Board Review meeting(3 Months) -> C-suite reviews (Separate streams – Every week; Cross Functional impact(Latent States) is synced up say once a month) -> Operational Teams (Every week) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating above Autonomous AI Agent systems with assembling workflows suffers from serious drawbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaayu is building Decision to ops loops & enterprise Decision Intelligence that sets goals like a boardroom, plans like C-suite & executes like Ops for Cleantech & mid-market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
