Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in complex reasoning tasks through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting. However, these models often exhibit "computational overthinking," generating redundant reasoning steps that increase latency and cost without improving accuracy.
arXiv:2604. 06465v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reasoning models achieve strong performance on complex problems by leveraging long chains of thought, but this deliberate reasoning incurs substantial inference-time cost.

Ladders-of-Thought (LoT) is a framework that enhances reasoning in small- to mid-scale large language models by automatically generating easier variants of reasoning problems and organizing them into difficulty buckets. It uses a self‑evolving bandit scheduler to adaptively allocate training, improving performance across math and multi‑hop reasoning tasks on 1–8 B models. LoT achieves significant gains (e.g., +32 pp on AddSub, +16 pp on QASC) and converges faster than staged curricula.
