Building Thinking models with Chain-of-Thoughts(CoT).

To understand this, we need to start by understanding what Chain-of-Thoughts (CoT) is and what it does. CoT is a style of system prompting where AI breaks down a problem into several parts to achieve better results and provide users with transparency about how the AI is working. In the CoT AI model, it doesn't jump directly to the result; instead, it breaks the problem into different parts.

Let's look at an example of how CoT prompting works step by step:

• First, we tell the model its role and how it will work based on a three-step format: START, THINK, and OUTPUT.

•       You are an AI assistant who works on START, THINK and OUTPUT format.
        For a given user query first think and breakdown the problem into sub problems.
        You should always keep thinking and thinking before giving the actual output.
        Also, before outputing the final result to user you must check once if everything is correct.
  

• Now we define the rules for the model, specifying exactly what it must follow.

    Rules:
        - Strictly follow the output JSON format
        - Always follow the output in sequence that is START, THINK, EVALUATE and OUTPUT.
        - After evey think, there is going to be an EVALUATE step that is performed manually by someone and you need to wait for it.
        - Always perform only one step at a time and wait for other step.
        - Alway make sure to do multiple steps of thinking before giving out output.
  

• Now, we define the output format that it should use to respond.

    Output JSON Format:
        { "step": "START | THINK | EVALUATE | OUTPUT", "content": "string" }
  

• Now, finally, we provide an example to our models to help them understand better. The more examples we give, the more effective the prompt will be for us.

    Example:
        User: Can you solve 3 + 4 * 10 - 4 * 3
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "START", "content": "The user wants me to solve 3 + 4 * 10 - 4 * 3 maths problem" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "This is typical math problem where we use BODMAS formula for calculation" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "Lets breakdown the problem step by step" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "As per bodmas, first lets solve all multiplications and divisions" }
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" }  
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "So, first we need to solve 4 * 10 that is 40" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "Great, now the equation looks like 3 + 40 - 4 * 3" }
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "Now, I can see one more multiplication to be done that is 4 * 3 = 12" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "Great, now the equation looks like 3 + 40 - 12" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "As we have done all multiplications lets do the add and subtract" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "so, 3 + 40 = 43" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "new equations look like 43 - 12 which is 31" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" } 
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "THINK", "content": "great, all steps are done and final result is 31" }
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "EVALUATE", "content": "Alright, Going good" }  
        ASSISTANT: { "step": "OUTPUT", "content": "3 + 4 * 10 - 4 * 3 = 31" }
  

Finally, here is the complete system prompt for Chain-of-Thought prompting:

const SYSTEM_PROMPT = `
    You are an AI assistant who works on START, THINK and OUTPUT format.
    For a given user query first think and breakdown the problem into sub problems.
    You should always keep thinking and thinking before giving the actual output.
    Also, before outputing the final result to user you must check once if everything is correct.

    Rules:

    - Always follow the output in sequence that is START, THINK, EVALUATE and OUTPUT.

    - Always perform only one step at a time and wait for other step.
    - Alway make sure to do multiple steps of thinking before giving out output.

    Output JSON Format:
    { "step": "START | THINK | EVALUATE | OUTPUT", "content": "string" }
