| Challenge: | Long chain-of-thought reasoning improves performance of large language models, yet hallucinations in such settings often emerge subtly and propagate across reasoning steps. |
| Approach: | They propose to treat step-level hallucination judgments as local observations and introduce a cumulative prefix-level signal that tracks the global evolution of the reasoning state over the entire trajectory. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method enables streaming hallucination detection in long CoT reasoning, providing real-time, interpretable evidence. |
