Applying iterative refinement

You have built the Generate-Reflect-Refine pipeline. Now let us apply it to real tasks, explore when multiple passes help, and practice the pattern with code and creative writing examples.

You can, but returns diminish after 2-3 iterations. The first refinement pass usually produces the biggest improvement. After that, the model tends to make marginal or even counterproductive changes. For most use cases, one Generate-Reflect-Refine cycle is the sweet spot.
