arXiv:2505.12992v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inference-time scaling techniques have significantly bolstered the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by harnessing additional computational effort at inference without retraining. Similarly, Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting and its extension, Long CoT, improve accuracy by generating rich intermediate reasoning trajectories, but these approaches incur substantial token costs that impede their deployment in latency-sensitive settings. In this work, we first show that truncated CoT, which stops reasoning before complet
The proliferation of LLMs creates an immediate need for optimized inference techniques to overcome latency and cost barriers for real-world applications.
Improving efficiency in LLM reasoning can significantly expand the deployment and economic viability of advanced AI applications, particularly in latency-sensitive environments.
LLM inference can become substantially cheaper and faster for complex tasks by optimizing reasoning paths, making advanced features more accessible.
