DeepSeek-V4 explores latent space reasoning to optimize inference efficiency
August 9, 2026
DeepSeek-V4 implements reasoning processes directly within the model's latent space rather than via explicit chain-of-thought tokens. This approach aims to reduce token overhead and improve reasoning density during inference. Technical implementation details focus on integrating computational steps into the hidden states.
