Beyond Token Generation: Training LLMs to Reason in Latent Working Memory
CShorten30 · x · 2026-08-04
Current LLM reasoning relies heavily on explicit token generation, causing high latency. The author introduces a new approach: training LLMs to reason within a latent working memory.
This method eliminates the visible reasoning trace, making Time To First Token (TTFT) equivalent to direct answering. An interactive blog post demonstrates the mechanism in action.
