arXiv:2605.28713v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Context compression aims to shorten long context inputs with minimal information loss for LLM inference acceleration. While existing methods have shown promise, they typically rely on complex compression modules or compression-specific training, leaving the intrinsic capabilities of LLMs underexplored. In contrast, this work reveals that a thinking model itself can naturally compress long contexts by organizing task-relevant information. We thus derive Thinking as Compression (TaC), a new compression paradigm that treats thinking itself as compre
