What is Chain of Thought Prompting?
Ace Kenneth Batacandulo2025-08-31T16:52:13+00:00A prompting technique in Large Language Models (LLMs) where the model is guided to show intermediate reasoning steps before arriving at the final answer. Inspired by how humans solve problems step by step. Helps LLMs handle complex reasoning tasks such as math, logic, and multi-step decision-making. Key Concepts Step-by-Step Reasoning: Instead of jumping to an answer, the model explains its thought process. Intermediate Steps: Similar to “showing work” in math problems. Better Accuracy: Effective in arithmetic, logical reasoning, and multi-hop questions. Prompt Example: “Let’s think step by step.” Benefits Improves reasoning accuracy. Makes the model’s output more interpretable. Reduces errors [...]
