Chain of Thought
Prompting a model to write intermediate reasoning steps before concluding.
#推理#提示词#复杂任务
In plain language
Chain of thought helps with math, logic and multi-step planning. However, the written reasoning may not reflect the model's internal computation and should not be treated as a reliable explanation. For simple tasks, forcing long reasoning adds cost and errors.
Example
List knowns, then the formula, then substitute and calculate.
