The paper proposes a new framework for collaboration between a small language model (SLM) and a large language model (LLM) that treats the interaction as an information acquisition problem under an API budget constraint. Instead of delegating reasoning tasks, the SLM remains the primary reasoner and selectively queries the LLM advisor with targeted questions, using a three-stage RLVR approach to decide when to call the advisor, how to phrase queries, and how to integrate the responses. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and coding tasks show that this strategy improves the performance–cost tradeoff compared to existing baselines and can transfer to other advisor model families without additional training.

The paper introduces Gated-Memory Routing, a method for efficient collaboration in multi‑agent large language model systems. It uses a learned execution memory with write and retrieval gates to keep only non‑redundant reasoning steps, and an adaptive halting controller to stop execution when enough evidence is gathered. Experiments on five reasoning and code‑generation benchmarks show the approach achieves higher accuracy and reduces inference cost by 31.9% compared to the strongest baseline.

Reasoning language models (RLMs) achieve strong performance on complex reasoning tasks, but still exhibit substantial multilingual reasoning gaps, largely due to language-understanding failures in non-English inputs. English translation can mitigate these failures by expressing non-English inputs in a form that RLMs can more reliably interpret, yet translating every input is unnecessary when the model can reason reliably from the original query.
The paper surveys efficient reasoning in large language models, contrasting fast intuitive (System 1) and slow deep (System 2) reasoning. It analyzes why System 2 is computationally costly yet more accurate, and why System 1 is efficient but less effective. The survey covers causes of inefficiency, patterns of reasoning behavior, and potential solutions to balance performance and computational budgets, offering actionable insights and an open‑source repository for ongoing research.
