Think Less, Code Better: Probing When Chain-of-Thought Hurts and How to Route Around It (2026.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting is the dominant strategy for eliciting step-by-step reasoning in large language models, but its effect on code generation is poorly understood. |
| Approach: | They develop a chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting router that selects among 12 prompt styles via a single 84 ms forward pass. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms CoT in small models with a 84 ms forward pass. |
