Adaptive CoT Research Framework - CLI Guide

🎯 Overview

This framework implements adaptive parallel test-time scaling with self-consistency + CoT, using command-line arguments instead of YAML config files. Perfect for research experimentation!

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage

# Test single problem with both adaptive and static
python run_adaptive_cot.py --model-path "/path/to/model" --problem "What is 2+2?" --test-both

# Run benchmark evaluation
python run_adaptive_cot.py --model-path "/path/to/model" --benchmark gsm8k --max-samples 100

# Compare strategies on dataset
python run_adaptive_cot.py --model-path "/path/to/model" --compare gsm8k --max-samples 100

Using Bash Scripts

# Test single problem
./test_single_problem.sh

# Test math problem
./test_math_problem.sh

# Run GSM8K evaluation
./run_gsm8k_evaluation.sh

# Compare strategies
./compare_strategies.sh

# Run full research experiment
./run_full_research.sh
