CoT Prompting
Introduced by Jason Wei et al. in Chain-of-Thought Prompting Elicits Reasoning in Large Language Models
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Chain-of-thought prompts contain a series of intermediate reasoning steps, and they are shown to significantly improve the ability of large language models to perform certain tasks that involve complex reasoning (e.g., arithmetic, commonsense reasoning, symbolic reasoning, etc.)

Tasks archive 2025-07-28
20 shown of 101 tasks the archive attaches to papers tagged with this method, by distinct papers. A task without a page in the catalog is plain text.
Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
