Latent space reasoning refers to a model not generating discrete text tokens, but completing multi-step reasoning in a continuous latent vector space, decoding the result into text only at the end; representative work includes Coconut.

UnverifiedCOCONUT completely replaces textual CoT with a chain of continuous 'latent thoughts'; the model no longer outputs readable reasoning steps but instead reasons in a continuous vector space, causing the supervisory value of CoT to drop directly to zero.72% similarUnverifiedLarge language models encode semantic concepts as specific directional vectors in a high-dimensional representation space, with refusal behavior corresponding to an identifiable direction.71% similarUnverifiedThe semantic path is suited for handling ambiguity, understanding natural language, fuzzy reasoning, and planning when the state space is not clearly defined.68% similarUnverifiedThe inference process of large language models is often constrained by memory bandwidth rather than pure floating-point compute.68% similarUnverifiedSemantic chunking uses embedding models to assess semantic similarity between adjacent sentences and splits at semantic breaks, but still cannot guarantee logical coherence across paragraphs.67% similar
