# New Method Controls Reasoning Effort in LLMs

Researchers have introduced a technique to dynamically control the amount of reasoning effort large language models use during inference. This allows adjusting between fast, low-effort responses and deeper, more resource-intensive reasoning. The approach could improve efficiency and task-specific performance in AI systems.

**Importance:** 3/5
