arXiv:2607. 11266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has significantly advanced the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), yet it often incurs substantial computational costs due to over-reasoning: the generation of redundant, verbose, or irrelevant steps.

arXiv:2607. 14109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Probing the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and building robust solutions for Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA) remain central challenges in natural language understanding.
The paper introduces PORA, a method that teaches large language model agents to decide when to allocate more reasoning steps versus fewer, based on the expected downstream benefit. PORA trains by running each state twice—once with short reasoning and once with long reasoning—and learns to predict the value of extended reasoning. During inference, a controller uses this prediction and remaining budget information to choose the appropriate reasoning length without running both options, improving performance across diverse tasks.
