Researchers have developed a new prompting technique called Plan-and-Solve (PS) to improve the reasoning capabilities of large language models. PS prompts the model to first create a plan of subtasks before executing them, which helps prevent errors like missing steps or incorrect arithmetic. An enhanced version, PS+, further refines this by instructing the model to extract relevant variables and pay close attention to calculations and common sense, significantly improving accuracy on complex word problems.
