Researchers have developed new methods to improve the efficiency of chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning in large language models. HybridThinker introduces a training scheme that balances retaining detailed thought steps with compressing them into memory tokens, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy with similar inference times. HMPO offers a cost-effective, single-stage reinforcement learning framework that adaptively compresses CoT, demonstrating significant token reduction across various tasks and model sizes with negligible accuracy loss. Another study explores the memory regimes of CoT and looped Transformers, highlighting how compressed loops are limited by their recurrent state size, unlike full sequence-state loops or CoT scratchpads.
