Bloomberg reports that Google is working on artificial intelligence (AI) software that resembles the human ability to reason, similar to OpenAI o1.
In recent months, several Google teams have made progress in developing AI logical thinking software. Such programs are more adept at solving multi-step problems in mathematics and computer programming.
AI researchers are looking for the next big step forward in this technology.
According to the source, the company uses a technique known as Chain of Thought (CoT) hints to do so. This method helps large language models (LLMs) use reasoning when solving complex problems.
In this technique, pioneered by Google, the software pauses for a few seconds before responding to a written prompt. Behind the scenes and invisibly to the user, it considers a series of related prompts and then summarizes what appears to be the best answer.
