Prompting isn’t just about what you ask AI—it’s about how you think with it. As large language models (LLMs) like GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 2.5 evolve, prompting strategies are becoming the difference between average results and AI-level mastery. Two of the most powerful frameworks are Chain-of-Thought (CoT) and Tree-of-Thought (ToT). Both help AIs
