## Overview
**COCONUT** (Chain of Continuous Thought) is a latent reasoning model based on GPT-2 that enables continuous thought generation in latent space. This model is part of the research presented in the paper [Parallel Test-Time Scaling for Latent Reasoning Models](https://huggingface.co/papers/2510.07745).
Official Code: [https://github.com/ModalityDance/LatentTTS](https://github.com/ModalityDance/LatentTTS)
## Model Details
- **Base Architecture**: GPT-2 Language Model
- **Model Class**: `COCONUTGPT2` (extends `GPT2LMHeadModel`)
- **Latent Tokens**: Uses special tokens `<|latent|>`, `<|start-latent|>`, `<|end-latent|>` for latent reasoning
- **Input Format**: Requires newline after input question before `<|start-latent|>` token

## Installation
Download the model from HuggingFace:
```bash
huggingface-cli download ModalityDance/latent-tts-coconut --local-dir checkpoints/coconut
```
## Quick Start
### Basic Usage
Note: Inference requires the `src` directory and custom implementation files from the [official GitHub repository](https://github.com/ModalityDance/LatentTTS).
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from src.generation_mixin import LatentGenerationMixin, LatentGenerationConfig
from src.paths import MODELS
# Load tokenizer
model_id = "checkpoints/coconut"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
if tokenizer.pad_token is None:
tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
# Get latent token IDs
latent_id = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("<|latent|>")
start_id = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("<|start-latent|>")
end_id = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("<|end-latent|>")
# Create model class with generation mixin
class LatentCOCONUT(MODELS["coconut"]["class"], LatentGenerationMixin):
def __init__(self, config):
super().__init__(config)
# Load model
model = LatentCOCONUT.from_pretrained(
model_id,
latent_id=latent_id,
latent_start_id=start_id,
latent_end_id=end_id,
device_map="auto",
)
# Prepare input (note: newline before <|start-latent|>)
question = "What is 2 + 2?
<|start-latent|>"
inputs = tokenizer(question, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
# Configure generation
generation_config = LatentGenerationConfig(
max_new_tokens=512,
latent_length=6,
latent_do_sample=True,
latent_do_sample_by="dropout", # or "noise"
dropout_p=0.1,
pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id,
eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
)
# Generate
output = model.generate(
**inputs,
generation_config=generation_config,
num_return_sequences=1,
)
# Decode result
result = tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(result)
```
### Batch Processing
The model fully supports batch processing:
```python
# Prepare batch inputs
questions = [
"What is 2 + 2?
<|start-latent|>",
"What is 5 * 3?
<|start-latent|>",
"What is 10 - 4?
<|start-latent|>",
]
inputs = tokenizer(questions, return_tensors="pt", padding=True).to(model.device)
# Generate for batch
outputs = model.generate(
**inputs,
generation_config=generation_config,
num_return_sequences=1,
)
# Decode batch results
results = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)
for result in results:
print(result)
```
## Generation Parameters
### LatentGenerationConfig
- `max_new_tokens` (int): Maximum number of tokens to generate
- `latent_length` (int): Number of latent tokens (default: 6)
- `latent_do_sample` (bool): Whether to use stochastic sampling
- `latent_do_sample_by` (str): Sampling method - `"dropout"` or `"noise"`
- `dropout_p` (float): Dropout probability for Monte Carlo Dropout (e.g., 0.1)
- `noise_std` (float): Standard deviation for Additive Gaussian Noise
### Sampling Methods
1. **Monte Carlo Dropout**: Randomly drops activations during forward passes
```python
generation_config = LatentGenerationConfig(
latent_do_sample_by="dropout",
dropout_p=0.1,
# ...
)
```
2. **Additive Gaussian Noise**: Injects noise into latent embeddings
```python
generation_config = LatentGenerationConfig(
latent_do_sample_by="noise",
noise_std=0.1,
# ...
)
```
## Answer Extraction
COCONUT uses a special answer format with `#` separator:
```python
from src.paths import coconut_extract_answer_number
# Extract answer from generated text
answer = coconut_extract_answer_number(result)
print(f"Answer: {answer}")
```
## Evaluation
Run evaluation using the provided scripts in the official repository:
```bash
# For COCONUT (GPT-2 based models)
./run_tests.sh
```
