That's interesting. Do you mean that you ask GPT-4 to break down it's own prompt into smaller/simpler pieces?



Yes, and then I iterate on it until it is clear and simple enough for weaker models to actually follow consistently.


I believe they were referring to GPT-3.5, but yes, you can get it to be pretty successful at more complex tasks this way. You can also manually break the problem down yourself too, if it’s a standard workflow. So for example, rather than ask it to translate some text, summarize it, and classify it in a single prompt, doing it as 3 separate prompts that feed into one another is far more likely to be successful.
