Coconut lets LLMs perform reasoning directly in continuous latent space by recycling hidden states as inputs, outperforming standard chain-of-thought on search-intensive logical tasks with better accuracy-efficiency trade-offs.
Skill-SD turns an agent's completed trajectories into dynamic natural-language skills that condition only the teacher in self-distillation, yielding 14-42% gains over RL and OPSD baselines on multi-turn agent benchmarks.
NCoTS treats chain-of-thought reasoning as a search problem and uses a dual-factor heuristic to find paths that are over 3.5% more accurate and 22% shorter on benchmarks.
Injecting noise into LLM latent trajectories creates diverse reasoning paths whose agreement acts as a confidence signal for selective abstention, cutting error rates from 40-70% to under 15% on math tasks.
TRACE aggregates answer consistency and confidence trajectory over multiple reasoning steps to decide when to halt inference, reducing token usage by 25-30% while keeping accuracy within 1-2% of full reasoning.
Self-aligned reward uses relative perplexity differences to encourage concise, query-specific reasoning in LLMs, yielding 4% accuracy gains and 30% lower inference cost when added to PPO or GRPO.
A survey organizing techniques to achieve efficient reasoning in LLMs by shortening chain-of-thought outputs.
Knowledge distillation evaluations must report lost teacher capabilities via a Distillation Loss Statement rather than relying solely on task scores.
