Does Reasoning Make Language Models Agree?

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper investigates how reasoning affects agreement among language models. It distinguishes reasoning as an intervention from reasoning as an observed behavior, comparing agreement under controlled changes in reasoning effort versus observed reasoning lengths. Across nine models and three classification tasks, enabling reasoning increases agreement on the same individuals, while longer reasoning traces correlate with less consistent predictions across models.

Thinking Past the Answer: Evaluating Harmful Overthinking in Large Reasoning Models

arXiv:2606. 02835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) improve performance by generating explicit intermediate reasoning traces through increased test-time compute, yet the assumption that longer reasoning is consistently beneficial remains under-examined.
