Reasoning

Domain: Prompt Engineering

🎯 Motivation

The model’s ability to think through problems logically - combining facts, drawing conclusions, and checking its work.

📋 Concrete Example

Model: ‘If all mammals have hair, and whales are mammals, then whales have hair. But wait - whales seem hairless. Let me reconsider: whale fetuses do have hair. So the conclusion holds.’

🔗 Analogy

A student solving a logic puzzle - they work through premises, draw conclusions, and double-check. If something seems wrong, they backtrack. Reasoning is the model’s logical thinking process.
