SEAL: Steerable Reasoning Calibration of Large Language Models for Free

Runjin Chen, Zhenyu Zhang, Junyuan Hong, Souvik Kundu, Zhangyang Wang

Separates execution, reflection, and transition steps in written CoT using hidden representations. Adds a steering vector at thought boundaries to adjust how often the model reflects or changes direction, then measures accuracy and token use.
