Day 40/42: What Is Self-Consistency?

Yesterday, we rewarded correctness.
Today, we embrace randomness.

Self-consistency means asking the model the same question multiple times.

Different reasoning paths.
Same problem.

Then we compare answers and keep the consensus.

One guess is fragile.
Multiple guesses form confidence.

Slower.
More expensive.
More reliable.

Missed Day 39? Worth it.
Tomorrow, we combine models: ensembling.
