The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for adaptive reasoning optimization in large language model (LLM) inference. An input assessment question (101) is received and classified by a question category classifier (102) into quantitative reasoning, logical reasoning, or situational judgment categories. Based on the classification, a strategy router selectively applies a quantitative chain-of-draft mode (103), a logical chain-of-thought mode (104), or a situational direct-answer mode (105). A token budget safety gate prevents deployment of verbosity-constrained reasoning modes when a predefined accuracy threshold would be violated, thereby preserving correctness for accuracy-critical categories. The system further comprises a dynamic telemetry-aware constraint calculator configured to adjust reasoning verbosity based on runtime conditions. An LLM API interface generates a corresponding response (106). The invention operates entirely through prompt-level modifications at inference time without model fine-tuning, weight modification, training data changes, or specialized hardware, thereby reducing token consumption, inference cost, and latency while maintaining or improving prediction accuracy.
