Coconut by Meta AI – Better LLM Reasoning with Chain of Continuous Thought?
Discover how Meta AI’s Chain of Continuous Thought (Coconut) empowers large language models (LLMs) to reason in their own language
Neuroimaging studies have shown that the region of the human brain responsible for language comprehension and production remains largely inactive during reasoning tasks.
