Moving Reasoning to Representation Space Will Change Alignment Methods
deanwball · x · 2026-09-02
Discussion on the future of AI reasoning mechanisms:
- Trend: Moving reasoning from natural language Chains of Thought (CoT) to representation space seems likely inevitable.
- Alignment Impact: This shift should somewhat alter views on what's needed for future alignment methods.
- Interpretability: It will require novel interpretability techniques.
Context: This applies not just to open-source models but to any second or third-tier player trying to economize.
