What is chain of thought? Chain of Thought is a prompting technique that makes a language model reason through intermediate steps before giving the final answer. This guide: a clear definition, why it works, how it works, few-shot and zero-shot CoT, its link to reasoning models, complex problem-solving examples, limits, and FAQs.
Most comprehensive Turkish technical guide for Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting: academic foundations (Wei et al. 2022 NeurIPS paper, Kojima et al. 'Let's think step by step'), 6 CoT variants (Zero-shot CoT, Few-shot CoT, Self-Consistency, Tree-of-Thoughts, Graph-of-Thoughts, Auto-CoT), benchmark performance (GSM8K 18% → 78%), 35+ Turkish practical examples, model-specific CoT behavior, when NOT to use, hallucination control, multi-step task design, agentic system integration, Turkish-specific pitfalls, cost impact.
