Researchers have developed a new method to prevent large reasoning models (LRMs) from revealing sensitive information in their internal thought processes. The approach focuses on improving the models' ability to follow instructions throughout their reasoning trace, thereby reducing privacy leaks. This is achieved through a supervised fine-tuning dataset and a decoding strategy called Staged Decoding, which separates the reasoning trace generation from the final answer generation. Evaluations showed significant improvements in both instruction-following and privacy, though a trade-off with task utility was observed. AI
