What is Few-Shot Prompting?​

Few-shot prompting involves providing the AI model with a few examples of desired behavior within the prompt. This technique helps the model understand and replicate the expected response pattern.

Benefits of Few-Shot Prompting​

  • Improves Accuracy: Guides the AI to produce more accurate and relevant responses.
  • Demonstrates Format: Shows the desired response structure or style.
  • Enhances Understanding: Provides context that the AI can use to infer the correct approach.

How to Implement Few-Shot Prompting​

  1. Include Examples in the Prompt:

    • Add input-output pairs demonstrating how the AI should respond.

  2. Ensure Relevance:

    • Examples should be closely related to the intended use case.

  3. Limit the Number of Examples:

    • Typically, 1 to 5 examples are sufficient.
