Chain-of-Thought from Scratch — What Changes When You Make a Model Show Its Work
Why does adding "think step by step" make a model solve problems it otherwise fails? A ground-up tour of few-shot CoT, zero-shot CoT and self-consistency — the serialization argument for why it works, the conditions where it doesn't, and how it relates to today's reasoning models.
