LLMs have typically been restricted to reason in the "language space," where chain-of-thought (CoT) is used to solve complex reasoning problems. But a new paper argues that language space may not always be the best for reasoning. In this paper read, we cover an exciting new technique from a team at Meta called Chain of Continuous Thought—also known as "Coconut." In the paper, "Training Large Language Models to Reason in a Continuous Latent Space" explores the potential of allowing LLMs to reason in an unrestricted latent space instead of being constrained by natural language tokens.
