GRACE is a step‑level benchmark for evaluating the faithfulness of chain‑of‑thought reasoning over context. It provides human annotations for each step in CoT traces from 10 models across 4 datasets, labeling faithfulness, error category, and natural‑language explanations. The benchmark introduces a data‑driven taxonomy that splits errors into GRACE‑Inference (deductive) and GRACE‑Grounding (factual) tracks, each with four categories, and demonstrates that incorporating step‑level faithfulness signals can improve downstream accuracy and reasoning reliability.
The paper introduces MCircKE, a mechanistic circuit-based knowledge editing framework for large language models. MCircKE identifies the causal circuits involved in a specific reasoning task and surgically updates parameters only within those circuits, thereby addressing the reasoning gap where edited facts are not used in multi-step reasoning. Experiments on the MQuAKE-series benchmarks show that this approach improves multi-hop reasoning performance after knowledge editing.
arXiv:2606. 17524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models show strong reasoning ability, but their internal reasoning process can remain unstable in complex multi-step settings, where early hidden-state errors may propagate to incorrect predictions.

Reasoning Language Models (RLMs) have significantly improved performance on complex tasks by extending the reasoning chain. However, these chains are prone to containing factual errors, particularly in knowledge-intensive tasks.
