Meta’s New Method Shortens Chain of Thought, Eliminating Repetitive Derivations: Meta, Mila-Quebec AI Institute, and others have jointly proposed a “metacognitive reuse” mechanism, aiming to solve the problem of token inflation and increased latency caused by repetitive derivations in large language model (LLM) reasoning. This mechanism allows the model to review and summarize problem-solving approaches, refining common reasoning patterns into “behaviors” stored in a “behavior manual.” When needed, these behaviors can be directly invoked without re-derivation. Experiments show that on mathematical benchmarks like MATH and AIME, this mechanism can reduce reasoning token usage by up to 46% while maintaining accuracy, enhancing model efficiency and its ability to explore new paths.
