Current transformers discard their rich latent residual stream between positions, reconstructing latent reasoning context at each new position and leaving potential reasoning capacity untapped. The State Stream Transformer (SST) V2 enables parameter-efficient reasoning in continuous latent space through an FFN-driven nonlinear recurrence at each decoder layer, where latent states are streamed horizontally across the full sequence via a learned blend. This same mechanism supports continuous latent deliberation per position at inference time, dedicating additional FLOPs to exploring abstract reasoning before committing to a token. A two-pass parallel training procedure resolves the sequential dependency of the recurrence to allow compute-efficient training. Hidden state analysis shows the state stream facilitates reasoning through exploration of distinct semantic basins in continuous latent space, where transitions at content-dependent positions move the model into a substantially different Bayesian posterior, directly influencing the latent space at future positions. We also find, via a learned probe, that at the first generated token position, the latent state already predicts whether the eventual answer will survive or break under additional latent computation for every subsequent position. Co-trained into an existing 27B backbone using only a small dataset of GSM8K examples, the SST delivers a +15.15 point gain over a fine-tuning-matched baseline on out-of-distribution GPQA-Diamond and cuts that same baseline's remaining GSM8K errors by 46%, together showing that the reasoning improvement is attributable to the architectural mechanism rather than scale or training data. On GPQA-Diamond, the resulting 27B SST also achieves higher accuracy than several larger open-weight and proprietary systems, including open-weight models up to 25 times larger.
