Approaches to Multi-Step Reasoning in LLMs
Large Language Models can be employed to solve complex reasoning tasks through three distinct methods. The first involves the LLM predicting a conclusion directly, relying on a hidden and uninterpretable internal reasoning mechanism. The second method prompts the LLM to generate a full multi-step reasoning path and the final answer within a single run, as exemplified by Chain-of-Thought. The third approach uses problem decomposition to break the task into sub-problems, which are then addressed in separate LLM interactions or by other specialized systems.

An engineer is building a system to solve complex logic puzzles. When a puzzle is submitted, the system sends a single, carefully crafted prompt to a large language model. The model's output is a complete, step-by-step explanation of how it solved the puzzle, followed by the final answer, all generated in one response.
