Towards Efficient Reasoning in LLM-Based Recommender Systems via Model Merging

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Large language model-based recommender systems are increasingly adopting slow-thinking models that generate step-by-step reasoning before making predictions, often achieving higher accuracy than fast-thinking models that predict directly. However, their reasoning traces are often unnecessarily verbose, increasing inference costs without commensurate accuracy gains.

OS-Pruner: Pruning Chains-of-Thought of Reasoning Models via Optimal Stopping

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in complex reasoning tasks through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting. However, these models often exhibit "computational overthinking," generating redundant reasoning steps that increase latency and cost without improving accuracy.
