Zero-shot & Few-shot Prompting
Master prompting techniques that require no examples (zero-shot) or a few examples (few-shot) for desired model behavior.
Guiding LLMs with Examples
LLMs often need guidance. With zero-shot you give the task and no examples; with few-shot you include a few examples to show what you expect.
Zero-shot: Relying on Knowledge
Zero-shot prompting gives a task with no examples - the model leans entirely on its pre-trained knowledge. Efficient, and great for common, straightforward tasks.
