LLMs Do Math Reasoning Without Explicit Text
burny_tech · x · 2026-07-19
Currently, solving complex math problems with LLMs typically relies on step-by-step Chain of Thought (CoT) text generation, which consumes massive test-time compute. This discussion proposes a new approach: processing reasoning steps in parallel within a continuous latent space, rather than sequentially outputting text tokens. Research indicates that this implicit reasoning method is actually both viable and effective.
