arXiv:2607.00862v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable success on complex tasks by leveraging long chain-of-thought (CoT) trajectories, yet they frequently exhibit overthinking on simple queries, resulting in significant token overhead and reduced inference efficiency. However, existing compression methods predominantly apply uniform length reduction or rely on coarse-grained difficulty estimation, often leading to performance degradation on difficult problems. To address this limitation, we propose Confidence-Adaptive Thinking (CAT), a framework
