Research kya kehti hai
2022 ki ek research (Kojima et al., “Large Language Models are Zero-Shot Reasoners”) mein English line “Let’s think step by step” jodne se ek math test (MultiArith) par score 17.7% se 78.7% ho gaya. Ye ek purane model par tha (InstructGPT, text-davinci-002). Aaj ke kai naye “reasoning” models khud hi step by step sochte hain, isliye fark itna bada nahi dikhega. Phir bhi steps dekhne se tum answer check kar sakte ho.
