Prompting
Techniques for instructing AI models effectively.
Chain-of-Thought Prompting
Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting is a technique where the model is asked to produce intermediate reasoning steps before its final answer, improving performance on multi-step problems.
Few-shot Prompting
Few-shot prompting is a prompting technique that includes a small number of input/output examples in the prompt to steer the model toward the desired format or behaviour.
Prompt Chaining
Prompt chaining is a prompting strategy that splits one large task into a sequence of smaller prompts, feeding each step's output forward as the next step's input.
Prompt Engineering
Prompt engineering is the discipline of designing inputs to a language model so its outputs are accurate, useful and repeatable.
System Prompt
A system prompt is a hidden or fixed instruction set passed to a language model that establishes its persona, rules and constraints before any user input is processed.
Zero-shot Prompting
Zero-shot prompting is a prompting style in which the model receives only the task description, with no in-context examples.
