Large language models (LLMs) can effectively handle outdated information through knowledge editing. However, current approaches face two key limitations: **(I) Poor generalization:** Most approaches rigidly inject new knowledge without ensuring that the model can use it effectively to solve practical problems. **(II) Narrow scope:** Current methods focus primarily on structured fact triples, overlooking the diverse unstructured forms of factual information (e.g., news, articles) prevalent in real-world contexts. To address these challenges, we propose a new paradigm: teaching LLMs to edit knowledge via **Chain of Thoughts** (CoTs) reasoning (CoT2Edit). We first leverage language model agents for both structured and unstructured edited data to generate CoTs, building high-quality instruction data. The model is then trained to reason over edited knowledge through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). At inference time, we integrate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to dynamically retrieve relevant edited facts for real-time knowledge editing. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves strong generalization across six diverse knowledge editing scenarios with **just a single round of training** on three open-source language models.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized language processing and understanding, yet their performance is hampered by inaccuracies and outdated information. Model editing techniques offer a solution but face two key challenges: **(I)** Most methods inject knowledge by constructing rigid loss, which leads to poor compatibility when dealing with higher-order multi-hop problems. **(II)** Locate-then-edit vein, by altering pre-trained parameters, inevitably affect normal knowledge and even face the catastrophic forgetting. In this paper, we introduce **KGMET**, a framework that constructs knowledge graphs using available information to guide the direction of knowledge editing, enabling **consistent**, **aligned**, and **stable** information during **large-scale** editing scenario. Furthermore, *KGMET* goes beyond this by employing orthogonal constraints to block the interference of irrelevant information, ensuring the updates are both controllable and generalizable. Experiments on Multi-Conterfact, ZsRE, and MQuAKE datasets using *Llama-3-8B*, *GPT-J-6B*, and *GPT-2-XL* models showcase improvements over state-of-the-art methods, with ↑ 5%-17% in multi-hop tasks while remaining generalizable (at least ↑ 20% in fluency). Our code is available on Github.
