What changed
Demonstrated that few-shot exemplars with intermediate steps can improve several reported reasoning benchmarks for large language models.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact nine-author NeurIPS 2022 paper. Results are model-, prompt- and benchmark-specific; generated rationales are not proofs of faithful internal reasoning, factuality, safety or universal task improvement.
Evidence
The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record is the exact nine-author NeurIPS 2022 paper. Results are model-, prompt- and benchmark-specific; generated rationales are not proofs of faithful internal reasoning, factuality, safety or universal task improvement.
