Title: LightThinker++: From Reasoning Compression to Memory Management

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.03679v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) excel at complex reasoning, yet their efficiency is limited by the surging cognitive overhead of long thought traces. In this paper, we propose LightThinker, a method that enables LLMs to dynamically compress intermediate thoughts into compact semantic representations. However, static compression often struggles with complex reasoning where the irreversible loss of intermediate details can lead to logical bottlenecks.
