Plan Canvas: Fixed Reasoning Regions for Continuous Language Flows
Continuous language flows generate text by denoising all positions of a target canvas together. The natural way to add reasoning to such a model is to write a trace ahead of the answer, but the trace length changes from question to question. The answer start is therefore unknown during denoising, and the model has to decide the trace length, the place of every trace token, and the answer at the same time. We propose Plan Canvas to fix the boundary between the trace and the answer. A plan region of fixed capacity holds a compact trace, supervised padding fills its unused positions, and the answer starts at a fixed position. The fixed regions also allow separate denoising clocks for the pla...
