Chain Of Thought Compression: A Theoretical Analysis 事件

Chain Of Thought Compression: A Theoretical Analysis arXiv:2601.21576v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) has unlocked advanced reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) with intermediate steps, yet incurs prohibitive computational costs due to generation of extra tokens. Recent studies empirically show that compressing reasoning steps into latent states, or implicit CoT compression, offers a token-efficient alternative. However, the mechanism behind CoT compress
