Think Fast: Estimating No-CoT Task-Completion Time Horizons of Frontier AI Models
Dewi Gould, Francis Rhys Ward, Anders Cairns Woodruff +18
Many efforts to ensure frontier AI models are safe rely on monitoring their chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning. If models become able to perform sufficiently complex reasoning intern…

Diagnosing Pathological Chain-of-Thought in Reasoning Models
Manqing Liu, David Williams-King, Ida Caspary +5
Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning is fundamental to modern LLM architectures and represents a critical intervention point for AI safety. However, CoT reasoning may exhibit failure m…
