Introduces state commitment learning and Counterfactual Erasure RL (CERL) to train models to commit only persistent state, reducing answer dependence on hidden thoughts across math, logic, QA, and tool-use tasks without accuracy loss.
PUMA detects reasoning-level semantic redundancy to enable early exit in chains of thought, achieving 26.2% average token reduction across five LRMs and five benchmarks while preserving accuracy and CoT quality.
