As I've written about previously, LCP mostly relies on the user entering their password (the key) when they want to read the book.

Learn More Reasoning through chain-of-thought (CoT) — the process by which models break problems into manageable “thoughts” before deducting answers — has become an integral part of the latest generation of frontier large language models (LLMs). However, the inference costs of reasoning models can quickly stack up as models generate excess CoT tokens. In a new paper, researchers
