Cogitatør

A Python toolkit for chain-of-thought prompting

---

Cogitatør is a Python toolkit for experimenting with chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting techniques in large language models (LLMs). CoT prompting improves LLM performance on complex tasks (like question-answering, reasoning, and problem-solving) by guiding the models to generate intermediate reasoning steps before arriving at the final answer. The toolkit aims to make it easy to try out different popular CoT strategies (or methods) and integrate them into your AI applications.

Features

• Simple unified API for different CoT prompting methods
• Support for remote and local LLM providers, including:
  • OpenAI
  • Ollama
• Supported CoT prompting methods include:
  • Self-Consistency CoT (ICLR 2023)
  • Automatic CoT (ICLR 2023)
  • Least-to-Most Prompting (ICLR 2023)
  • Tree of Thoughts (NeurIPS 2023)
  • Graph of Thoughts (AAAI 2024)
  • Clustered Distance-Weighted CoT (AAAI 2025)
