ReAct
term_id: react
Category: application_paradigms
Definition
The ReAct framework enables LLMs to generate both reasoning traces and task-specific actions in an interleaved manner. By simulating human-like thought processes, it allows models to interact with external environments, such as search engines or calculators, to verify facts and solve problems step-by-step. This synergy reduces hallucinations and enhances the accuracy of responses in question-answering and planning scenarios.
Summary
ReAct is a prompting paradigm that combines reasoning and acting to improve the performance of large language models on complex tasks.
