Scaling Reasoning Hop Exposes Weaknesses: Demystifying and Improving Hop Generalization in Large Language Models

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2601.21214v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning has become the standard paradigm for enabling Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve complex problems. However, recent studies reveal a sharp performance drop in reasoning hop generalization scenarios, where the required number of reasoning steps exceeds
