Stanford, Together AI, UIUC, and Meta unveil Hybrid Reasoning Agents with internal reasoning and text-only tool use for final answers
Read original on r/LocalLLaMA ↗On many tests (math, science, medicine, etc.), they score about 10% higher, use half the tokens, run twice as fast, and cost much less than regular models. mod here, paper link: [2610.18861] Hybrid Reasoning Agents...
Original headline: "New paper from Stanford, Together AI, UIUC, and Meta introduces Hybrid Reasoning Agents. These AI models think mostly in a hidden internal way (faster and cheaper), and only use normal text when they need tools or give the final answer."
