Automatic Reasoning and Tool-use
The technique lets an AI model automatically pick and use different tools or reasoning methods to solve a task. The model itself decides which approach or tool will work best for a specific task.
| Advantages | Drawbacks |
|---|---|
| Increases the flexibility and adaptability of the model | Harder to implement and control |
| Makes it possible to solve a wider range of tasks | Potentially more resource-intensive |
| Can lead to unconventional and effective solutions | Can make results harder to interpret |
Example of an Automatic Reasoning and Tool-use prompt:
You have access to a calculator, a database of historical facts and a random number generator. Solve the following task, choosing the tools you need on your own and explaining your choice:
Calculate how many days have passed between the date of the first human spaceflight and today. Then find a historical event that happened in the middle of that period.
