An independent researcher seeking an arXiv endorsement for cs.LG reports that a causal study of latent reasoning in a chess-playing LLM found that reinforcement learning (GRPO) improved legal-move rat…
A developer known as flirp spent 21 GPU-hours training Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct to reason in latent space without decoding tokens, but the model's hidden-state reasoning collapsed into content-free attra…
A developer tested an aggressive version of latent-space reasoning on a 1.5B-parameter language model, where the model pauses during generation to run parallel hidden-state rollouts without decoding t…
Researchers at the University of Oxford found that observable patterns in latent reasoning models, such as BFS-like frontiers and decodable arithmetic, also appear in control models lacking the propos…
