Deep Thinking by Markov Chain of Continuous Thoughts

Researchers have introduced MarCos, a novel transformer architecture designed to enhance reasoning capabilities by enabling continuous thought processes rather than discrete token-by-token generation. This approach allows for multi-step reasoning within a single pass, significantly increasing speed and potentially enabling parallel thinking. Preliminary results on mathematical tasks demonstrate a tenfold speedup in computation time while maintaining accuracy, suggesting a more efficient method for complex problem-solving. AI

IMPACT Introduces a more efficient reasoning method for transformers, potentially speeding up complex tasks like math problem-solving.

    arXiv:2509.25020v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformer-based models can perform complicated reasoning by generating reasoning paths token by token. While effective, this approach often requires generating thousands of tokens to solve a single problem, which can be slow a…
