4/ Contrast Multiple Approaches
— God of Prompt (@godofprompt) 7 février 2025
Want the best solution? Have deepseek-R1 compare multiple options.
Example:
“List 10 ways to achieve X. Then determine the most effective approach.”
This increases its reasoning time and improves decision-making. pic.twitter.com/v8fpgGaizk4/ Contrast Multiple Approaches Want the best solution? Have deepseek-R1 compare multiple options. Example:

3/ Encourage Self-Reflection
— God of Prompt (@godofprompt) 7 février 2025
The model is great at checking its own work—if you ask it to.
Prompt it with:
“Identify potential flaws in your approach and suggest solutions.”
You’ll get a more refined and accurate response. pic.twitter.com/WrHq6DtAA93/ Encourage Self-Reflection The model is great at checking its own work—if you ask it to. Prompt it with:

chains of thought for o3-mini! (we try to organize the raw CoT to make it more readable, and optionally to translate languages, but we try to keep it quite faithful to the raw one) great work from @mia_glaese
, @joannejang
, @akshaynathan_ , and their teams!
