arXiv:2608. 08786v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly serve as data-driven reasoners, yet their chains-of-thought (CoT) can be unfaithful even when final answers are correct.

arXiv:2607. 23019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting enables large language models (LLMs) to tackle multi-step reasoning tasks, yet the generated intermediate steps are not guaranteed to be logically sound.

arXiv:2603. 05290v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve promising performance, yet their ability to reason remains poorly understood.

arXiv:2606. 14935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier reasoning-tuned language models still fail on deductive tasks at depth, and the cost of improved performance through extended internal reasoning scales poorly.

arXiv:2607. 11696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-refinement often fails to strengthen few-shot inductive reasoning in large language models.

arXiv:2607. 17047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM constraint reasoners are often evaluated near the random-SAT phase transition, confounding density and solver hardness.

arXiv:2606. 14176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geometry problem generation is useful for AI-assisted education and multimodal mathematical reasoning, but reliable synthesis remains difficult because the problem statement, diagram, constraints, and solution should be mutually consistent.

arXiv:2607. 16727v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive multimodal large language models (MLLMs) suffer from error snowballing: a single incorrect inference early in a chainof-thought (CoT) trace corrupts all downstream reasoning.

arXiv:2607. 04784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Defining the reasoning boundaries and ensuring the reliability of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) remains a critical challenge.

arXiv:2607. 21412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at natural language understanding and generation but remain unreliable for multi-step logical reasoning, especially in safety-critical or compliance-sensitive domains.

arXiv:2607. 02491v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we focus on SE-RRMs, a symbol-equivariant instantiation of RRMs that exhibits improved extrapolation to larger problem sizes.

arXiv:2505. 24273v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) suggest that reinforcement learning (RL) effectively internalizes search strategies, yielding significant improvements on challenging reasoning tasks through extended chains of thought.
