Researchers have developed a new prompting technique called Formula-One Prompting (F-1) that significantly improves the ability of language models to solve applied mathematics problems. F-1 prompts the model to first formalize the governing equations of a problem before proceeding with a chosen solving strategy, such as Chain-of-Thought or Program-of-Thought. This equation-first approach, derived from analyzing trillions of tokens, proved more effective than existing methods across various benchmarks, particularly in finance, by achieving higher accuracy with fewer tokens.
