Labs could soon start automated research into architectures driven by no-CoT perfomance.

AI brief

A LessWrong post argues that no-CoT performance tracks base-model general intelligence and could soon drive automated research into architectures. It cites work on latent multi-hop reasoning by Ryan Greenblatt.

Why it matters: If no-CoT performance is a reliable measure of base-model intelligence, it could guide automated architecture search toward more capable and token-efficient reasoning models.

“No-CoT performance has been a decent proxy for tracking the g-factor intelligence of base models (see work on latent multi-hop reasoning by Ryan Greenblatt ).”
