Evaluating Reasoning Steps in Generative Models
A generative model is tasked with solving a complex multi-step mathematical problem. Explain why a step-level search process using a specialized verifier might produce a more accurate final answer than a standard decoding process that simply selects the most probable next step at each stage. Focus your explanation on the nature of the evaluation component in each approach.

An AI system is designed to solve multi-step logic puzzles. Two generation strategies are being considered. Strategy 1 generates the next step in the reasoning process by selecting the sequence of words that the model calculates as most probable. Strategy 2 generates a potential next step and then uses a separate, specialized model to judge whether that step is logically valid before committing to it. Which statement best analyzes the primary advantage of Strategy 2's evaluation method over Strategy 1's?
