This paper show a work on better use of LLMs with SelfzCoT a self-prompt zero-shot CoT. Specifically, on the zero-shot arithmetic reasoning tasks, the accuracy of the proposed SelfzCoT is improved with GSM8K from 40.50% to 82.34%, with MultiArith from 79.3% to 94.7%, with ADDSUB from 74.70% to 94.10%, with SingleEq from 78.70% to 91.30%, with AQUA from 31.90% to 82.33%, and with SVAMP from 63.70% to 79.70%. Totally, using the first two lasting path activations to LLM and particularly, the code-level self-prompt, the SelfzCoT has a huge improvement on all six zero-shot arithmetic reasoning tasks. Additionally, our modified zero-shot CoT (MzCoT) also achieves remarkable performance in the reasoning tasks. The accuracy of the proposed MzCoT is enhanced with GSM8K from 40.50% to 76.32%, with MultiArith from 79.3% to 96.97%, with ADDSUB from 74.70% to 92.39%, with SingleEq from 78.70% to 94.60%, with AQUA from 31.90% to 79.90%, and with SVAMP from 63.70% to 81.50%. Notably, SelfzCoT has the best performance on GSM8K among all the recent zero-shot methods.
