Across 30 LLMs and 205 TLA+ tasks, syntactic correctness reaches at most 26.6% and semantic correctness 8.6%, with all successes limited to progressive prompting and no advantage from larger models.

abstract
We explore how generating a chain of thought -- a series of intermediate reasoning steps -- significantly improves the ability of large language models to perform complex reasoning. In particular, we show how such reasoning abilities emerge naturally in sufficiently large language models via a simple method called chain of thought prompting, where a few chain of thought demonstrations are provided as exemplars in prompting. Experiments on three large language models show that chain of thought prompting improves performance on a range of arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning tasks. The empirical gains can be striking. For instance, prompting a 540B-parameter language model with just eight chain of thought exemplars achieves state of the art accuracy on the GSM8K benchmark of math word problems, surpassing even finetuned GPT-3 with a verifier.

LLM activations encode current and prior entities in orthogonal slots, but models only use the current slot for explicit factual retrieval despite prior-slot information being linearly decodable.
Looped transformers with recall and outer normalization produce reachable, input-dependent fixed points with stable gradients, enabling generalization, while those without recall cannot; a new internal recall variant performs competitively or better.
GIANTS-4B, trained with RL on a new 17k-example benchmark of parent-to-child paper insights, achieves 34% relative improvement over gemini-3-pro in LM-judge similarity and is rated higher-impact by a citation predictor.
Long-range dependency in integer multiplication is a mirage from 1D representation; a 2D grid reduces it to local 3x3 operations, letting a 321-parameter neural cellular automaton generalize perfectly to inputs 683 times longer than training while Transformers fail.
The SDE benchmark shows LLMs lag on scientific discovery tasks relative to general science tests, with diminishing scaling returns and shared weaknesses across models.

Controlled student-teacher experiments across four benchmarks show interactive gains are driven more by the student's ability to use feedback than by teacher quality, with self-feedback adding little beyond unguided retries.
A new diagnostic benchmark decomposes LLM spatial navigation into three cognitive scales and shows that cross-scale aggregation, not single-level deficits, causes failure beyond small mazes.
