The Halt Vector internalizes a causal steering intervention to halt chain-of-thought reasoning for more efficient reasoning
Read the original at arxiv.org→arXiv:2608.28859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reasoning models do not stop when they know the answer. On DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B the chain of thought runs about twice as long as the model's own answer...
