+
+Compresses verbose chain-of-thought into dense reasoning tokens. Removes
+filler ("Hmm/Wait/Therefore/Let me think") while preserving deduction

+
+Use to compress training-data CoT before SFT — model learns to emit

+  • Extract numbered/bulleted steps
+  • Drop verbose connectives ("So I think", "Let me see", etc.)
+  • Drop self-correction loops ("Wait, that's wrong, let me try...")
+  • Keep math/code lines verbatim
+  • Compress to ≤30% original length, target 12× compression on long CoT

+  • easy   → fast direct answer (≤256 tokens, no <think> block)
+  • medium → standard (1024 tokens)
+  • hard   → deep deliberation (4096 tokens, force <think>...</think>)
+
+Saves ~40% tokens at parity vs uniform-budget. No retrain needed —
+routing happens at decode time.
+
+Heuristic implementation (no logit access needed): difficulty proxied
+by features the model can observe before generating —
+  • prompt length (longer → harder)
+  • code-block density (more code → harder)
+  • math-keyword density (more math → harder)
+  • cite/verify keywords (verification ask → harder)
