Decoding Code Execution: How DeepMind’s NExT Empowers AI Reasoning
In a new paper NExT: Teaching Large Language Models to Reason about Code Execution, a Google DeepMind research team proposes Naturalized Execution Tuning (NExT), a method aims to equip LLMs with the ability to scrutinize program execution traces and deduce runtime behaviors through chain-of-thought (CoT) rationales.
