arXiv:2606. 07108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate remarkable performance improvements by iteratively reflecting, exploring, and executing complex tasks, yet suffer from inefficiencies due to redundant reasoning, known as "overthinking".
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.
