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.
Wait, we don’t need to “wait”! removing thinking tokens improves reasoning efficiency

AI model failures on complex tasks become increasingly incoherent with longer reasoning chains, making consistent misalignment less likely than chaotic errors as capabilities scale.
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.
SAT reduces reasoning tokens by up to 40% across multiple large reasoning models and benchmarks by adaptively pruning steps based on difficulty while maintaining or improving accuracy.
