Large Reasoning Models often overthink, producing redundant reasoning steps that consume many tokens. The authors observe that efficient reasoning steps cluster in a concentrated region of latent space, while verbose steps lie outside this region. By projecting deviating hidden states back into the region via a quadratic program, they propose a training‑free framework that cuts token generation by up to 52.8% while improving accuracy by up to 12.1% across several benchmarks.

INTACT introduces a small external encoder that induces latent reasoning in a frozen backbone model by mapping hidden states to compact continuous representations, called soft-token blocks. The encoder is trained via distillation to mimic written reasoning steps while preserving the backbone’s behavior, and then fine‑tuned for answer correctness. Experiments on four frozen backbones (1B–8B) show that INTACT improves accuracy on GSM8K and other out‑of‑domain benchmarks, reduces latency by up to 19%, and outperforms existing latent‑reasoning baselines at 3B and 8B scales.
