Researchers at EleutherAI have explored a concept called "factored cognition" using GPT-3 to tackle complex arithmetic tasks it would otherwise fail at. By decomposing problems into smaller, sequential steps, similar to how humans use tools for calculations, they observed significant improvements in the model's performance. This approach aims to provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of breaking down complex tasks for large language models. AI
