Definition
A prompt serves as the primary interface for interacting with large language models and other generative AI systems. It defines the context, tone, and constraints for the model’s output. Effective prompting techniques, such as few-shot learning or chain-of-thought reasoning, allow users to guide complex models toward accurate, relevant, and desired results without modifying the underlying weights.
