chain-of-thought

chain-of-thought is a core generative-AI concept used across modeling, product, and governance discussions.

Expanded definition

chain-of-thought shows up constantly when teams ship LLM features. Practically, it influences how you design prompts, evaluate quality, and reason about failure modes. Teams should document how chain-of-thought manifests in their stack—data handling, evaluation, and runtime guardrails—and revisit assumptions as models update.
