In evaluation, if the thinking budget is not fixed, scores of the same model are not comparable, and the budget effectively becomes a hidden hyperparameter.

UnverifiedThe engineering significance of the reasoning budget lies in: latency and cost often trade off in opposite directions (large models are more expensive but may get it right in one shot, while small models are cheap but may retry repeatedly and end up slower), and looking at either metric alone will lead to wrong decisions.77% similarVerifiedThe thinking budget mechanism of reasoning models sets an upper limit on the number of reasoning tokens, and once exhausted, the model cannot output a complete answer, potentially causing overthinking issues.76% similarUnverifiedToken budgets limit model inference costs and have no stable correspondence with the real fund flows triggered by tool calls, so the two types of budgets need to be designed independently.75% similarUnverifiedIn budget-constrained scenarios, sampling a single model multiple times and then voting is more cost- and time-efficient than building a complex multi-agent debate framework.74% similarUnverifiedThe implicit reasoning mechanism consumes an additional token budget at inference time; these tokens are typically marked as invisible and are not presented to the end user.70% similar
