Graph of Thoughts framework enables merging of reasoning branches

A new reasoning framework called Graph of Thoughts (GoT) has been introduced, building upon the Tree of Thoughts (ToT) concept. Unlike ToT, which restricts reasoning to a single parent node for each thought, GoT allows thoughts to have multiple parents, enabling the merging of different reasoning branches. This capability is crucial for complex problems where multiple lines of reasoning might each capture a part of the solution. GoT utilizes four operations: generate, score, aggregate/merge, and refine/loop, with the aggregation step being the key innovation that allows for combining partial solutions to achieve a better overall outcome than any single branch could.

IMPACT Enables more robust problem-solving by allowing LLMs to combine partial solutions from multiple reasoning paths.

    Graph of Thoughts: when a tree of reasoning isn't enough, let the branches merge

    <p>Tree of Thoughts was a genuine leap. Instead of reasoning in one straight line, it branches into several lines, scores them, prunes the dead ends, and searches for the best path — so a puzzle that would sink a single chain of thought becomes solvable. But a tree has one restri…
