SwiReasoning: Switch-Thinking in Latent and Explicit for Pareto-Superior Reasoning LLMs

ICLR 2026poster

Recent work shows that, beyond discrete reasoning through explicit chain-of-thought steps, which are limited by the boundaries of natural languages, large language models (LLMs) can also reason continuously in latent space, allowing richer information per step and thereby improving token efficiency.…

Can Transformers Reason Logically? A Study in SAT Solving

ICML 2025poster

We formally study the logical reasoning capabilities of decoder-only Transformers in the context of the boolean satisfiability (SAT) problem. First, we prove by construction that decoder-only Transformers can decide 3-SAT, in a non-uniform model of computation, using backtracking and deduction via…

Superficial Self-Improved Reasoners Benefit from Model Merging

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) rely heavily on large-scale reasoning data, but as such data becomes increasingly scarce, model self-improvement offers a promising alternative. However, this process can lead to model collapse, as the model’s output becomes overly deterministic with reduced diversity. I
