Reasoning about Reasoning: BAPO Bounds on Chain-of-Thought Token Complexity in LLMs
Kiran Tomlinson, Tobias Schnabel, Adith Swaminathan +1
Inference-time scaling via chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning is a major driver of state-of-the-art LLM performance, but it comes with substantial latency and compute costs. We addre…

Lost in Transmission: When and Why LLMs Fail to Reason Globally
Tobias Schnabel, Kiran Tomlinson, Adith Swaminathan +1
Despite their many successes, transformer-based large language models (LLMs) continue to struggle with tasks that require complex reasoning over large parts of their input. We argu…
