Deep Think with Confidence (DeepConf) is introduced as a method to improve reasoning efficiency and performance in large language models by using internal confidence signals to filter out low-quality reasoning traces. It requires no additional training or tuning and can be easily integrated into existing systems. Evaluations show significant accuracy improvements and a reduction in generated tokens on various reasoning tasks.

Deep Think with Confidence (DeepConf) is a novel parallel thinking method that improves reasoning performance and efficiency of large language models (LLMs) by utilizing internal confidence signals to filter out low-quality reasoning traces. It can be integrated into existing frameworks without the need for additional training or tuning, achieving up to 99.9% accuracy on the AIME 2025 dataset while significantly reducing token generation. A real-time demo is available using the Qwen3-8B model with parallel thinking on the HMMT'25 dataset.
