Hybrid Reasoning Agents: LLM agents that think in latent space, act through text

Explain Like I'm Normal

Researchers have developed a new architecture where AI agents perform internal reasoning within their hidden latent states rather than outputting step-by-step text. This 'Hybrid Reasoning' approach allows for faster, more complex internal logic while still interacting with the world via standard text, effectively bypassing the token bottleneck of traditional Chain-of-Thought.
