Learn how zero-shot prompting enables AI models to perform tasks without any examples, and when to use it versus few-shot prompting.
More about Zero-Shot Prompting
Zero-Shot Prompting is a technique where you ask an AI model to perform a task without providing any examples in the prompt. The model relies entirely on its pre-trained knowledge to understand and complete the request. This contrasts with few-shot prompting where examples guide the model.
Zero-shot prompting works well for straightforward tasks and general queries. For complex or specialized tasks, few-shot prompting or in-context learning typically produces better results.
