I just bumped across “atomic thinking”, which asks the model to break the problem into co.ponent parts, attack each separately, and only produce an answer after that’s done and they can all be brought together.
This is how smart humans attack some problems, and it’s notably different from chain of thought.
I expect this approach could also be used to train models, by training on componenet problems. If other techniques don’t keep progressing so fast as to make it irrelevant.
