// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Reasoning
The ability of an AI model to process information, draw logical conclusions, and solve problems, often by following a sequence of steps.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
In AI, reasoning refers to the capability of a model, particularly LLMs, to perform logical inference, problem-solving, and complex cognitive tasks by processing input information, identifying relationships, and generating coherent, multi-step solutions or explanations.
BACKGROUND
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
