A*-Thought-V2: Efficient Latent Reasoning via Geometric Dynamics of LLM

A*-Thought-V2 compresses redundant chain-of-thought steps into latent tokens guided by hidden-state geometry, improving accuracy up to 2.6% while halving response length.

A*-Thought-V2 models chain-of-thought as a hidden-state trajectory projected into a 3D PCA space and compresses steps whose transitions deviate from the question-to-solution direction into continuous latent tokens, keeping aligned steps explicit. Training uses stepwise embedding forcing and label forcing with soft multi-modal vocabulary supervision. On Qwen3.5-9B and Qwen3.6-27B across six in-domain and out-of-domain benchmarks it improves average accuracy by up to 2.6%, cuts response length by up to half, and raises Accuracy per Computation Unit 2.29x while reducing preprocessing and training time by 94.6% and up to 80.3%.

A*-Thought-V2: Efficient Latent Reasoning via Geometric Dynamics of LLM

A*-Thought-V2 compresses chain-of-thought into latent tokens using geometric hidden-state dynamics, cutting computation while improving accuracy on Qwen models.

A*-Thought-V2 models chain-of-thought as a hidden-state trajectory and interleaves explicit text with continuous latent tokens, compressing steps whose transitions deviate from the question-to-solution direction. Trained via stepwise embedding forcing and label forcing with soft multi-modal supervision, it was evaluated on Qwen3.5-9B and Qwen3.6-27B across six benchmarks. Reported results include up to 2.6% average accuracy gain, up to 50% shorter responses, 2.29x higher Accuracy per Computation Unit, 94.6% faster preprocessing, and up to 80.3% faster training.
