arXiv:2610.12933v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models have achieved remarkable advances in complex reasoning. However, scaling reasoning post-training with ever-larger corpora can substantially increase training cost without proportional performance gains. In this study, we therefore ask: how far can reasoning supervision be compressed without sacrificing capability? To this end, we propose an uncertainty-guided progressive contraction framework that concentrates supervision and optimization on the reasoning trajectories most valuable for learning. Specifically, rather than treating a teacher-generated chain-of-thought (CoT) as a single realized path, we construct uncertainty
