Path-Lock Expert: Separating Reasoning Mode in Hybrid Thinking via Architecture-Level Separation

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.27201v1 Announce Type: cross Hybrid-thinking language models expose explicit think and no-think modes, but current designs do not separate them cleanly. Even in no-think mode, models often emit long and self-reflective responses, causing reasoning leakage. Existing work reduces this issue through better data curation and multi-stage
