Adaptive Stopping for Multi-Turn LLM Reasoning
Quick summary
arXiv:2604.01413v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly rely on multi-turn reasoning and interaction, such as adaptive retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and ReAct-style agents, to answer difficult questions. These methods improve accuracy by iteratively retrieving information, reasoning, or acting, but introduce a key challenge: \textbf{When should the model stop?} Existing approaches rely on heuristic stopping rules or fixed turn budgets and provide no formal guarantees that the final prediction still contains the correct answer.
