Where Do CoT Training Gains Land in LLM based Agents?

arXiv:2606. 26935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning is widely used in language-model agents, but prior work has shown that verbalized CoT is not always faithful and may instead reflect post-hoc reasoning, which means the model already knows the answer before reasoning.
