VerifiedPrompt engineering techniques such as chain-of-thought, few-shot prompting, and self-consistency cannot enable a model to access information beyond its training cutoff date, cannot guarantee the precision of floating-point arithmetic, and cannot handle external files the model has never seen.77% similarVerifiedThe core challenge of internalizing knowledge into model parameters is the Catastrophic Forgetting problem, which is a difficulty not yet fully resolved in the field of continual learning.76% similarUnverifiedThe research argues that the shortcomings of large models in physical reasoning lie at the behavioral level (a lack of reliable iterative experimental decision-making capability) rather than at the knowledge level75% similarUnverifiedNative large models only possess knowledge from their training period and often produce incorrect answers about events that occurred after training.75% similarUnverifiedThe improvement ceiling of runtime improvement is constrained by the base model's inherent capabilities, and the model cannot break through the knowledge and reasoning boundaries obtained during pre-training through runtime optimization.75% similar
