Reasoning as a Resource: Optimizing Fast and Slow Thinking in Code Generation Models
This position paper proposes a fundamental shift in designing code generation models: treating reasoning depth as a controllable resource. Rather than being an incidental byproduct of prompting, we argue that the trade-off between rapid, direct answers ("fast thinking") and elaborate, chain-of-thought deliberation ("slow thinking") must be explicitly managed. We contend that optimizing reasoning budgets across the entire model lifecycle - from synthetic data creation and benchmarking to real-wo…

Thomason's colimit theorem for the double category of elements
We show that, for any 2-category $C$ and 2-functor $F\colon C \to Cat$, the double category of elements $\iint_C F$ introduced by Grandis and Paré satisfies a version of Thomason's colimit theorem; that is, there is a weak homotopy equivalence $B hocolim F\simeq B(\iint_C F)$.
