NVIDIA gave one small model four thinking depths. The loop count needs a budget

Dory reuses one block of layers so the same 4B checkpoint can spend one, two or four passes on a token. That makes inference adjustable without a model swap. It also turns loop count into a production policy that needs local evidence, latency limits and an energy receipt.
