Tool-Integrated Reasoning: A New Approach for Math-Savvy LLMs

When trying to get language models to solve complex math problems, researchers kept running into limits. Models like GPT-3 and ChatGPT still struggle with advanced algebra, calculus, and geometry questions. The math is just too abstract and symbol-heavy for them.

To break through this barrier, researchers from Tsinghua University and Microsoft taught models to combine natural language reasoning with calling external math tools.

The key is their new "tool-integrated reasoning" format. Models generate a natural language plan first, then write …
