Summary

HSRM ranks candidate math solutions from frozen-generator hidden states instead of re-reading their full text.

Across four math benchmarks, the hidden-state verifier matched or beat a 55-million-parameter text energy model in 15 of 16 generator-dataset settings while using about two million parameters. It relies on access to the generator's internal representations.
