Controllable Reasoning Models Are Private Thinkers
Story
Training reasoning models to follow instructions in their reasoning traces (not just final answers) improves privacy by up to 51.9 percentage points. Uses a dual-adapter generation strategy. Critical for builders deploying reasoning models that handle sensitive data — reasoning traces can leak private info. arXiv 2602.24210
