Core Innovation

This paper introduces LiveThinking, a two-stage optimization framework that distills a 670B teacher model into a lightweight 30B MoE model and then compresses reasoning paths via reinforcement learning. This approach achieves a 30-fold reduction in computational cost while maintaining response quality and enabling sub-second latency.

Why It Matters

Livestream e-commerce requires instant, accurate AI responses to maintain viewer engagement and drive sales. Existing large reasoning models are too slow and costly for real-time use. LiveThinking’s approach enables fast, efficient AI interactions at scale, enhancing user experience and increasing commercial performance in live settings.
