Chain of Thought
Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting is a technique that instructs Large Language Models to write down their step-by-step reasoning process before outputting the final answer. This improves performance on complex reasoning, math, and logic tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Chain of Thought work?▼
Because LLMs generate text token-by-token. Giving them "thinking tokens" allows them to compute intermediate steps before finalizing their output, reducing errors.
What is zero-shot Chain of Thought?▼
Simply adding the phrase "Let's think step by step" to the prompt, which triggers reasoning behaviors in the model.
