arXiv:2606.01934v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models achieve remarkable performance via extended chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, yet this lengthy process incurs substantial inference overhead. Existing CoT compression methods struggle with inflexible manual length budgets, computationally expensive multi-stage training pipelines, and fragile scalability restricted to small models. We propose HMPO (Hybrid Median-length Policy Optimization), a cost-effective, single-stage reinforcement learning framework. HMPO efficiently compresses CoT via three synergistic components: an a
The increasing computational demands and inference costs of large language models, particularly with Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, are driving urgent innovation in efficiency and compression techniques.
Efficient CoT compression is critical for scaling AI applications, reducing operational costs, and making advanced AI reasoning more accessible for real-world deployment.
This research introduces a more efficient, single-stage method for CoT compression, potentially democratizing access to complex AI reasoning by lowering inference overheads.
