LLM Settings

Configuration options within an LLM that influence its responses. These settings can control factors like the variability of output and the level of creativity.

Temperature Setting

An LLM setting that controls the randomness and variation in its responses. A higher temperature leads to more unpredictable outputs, while a lower temperature results in more consistent responses.

Study Notes

Prompt Fundamentals

  • Large language models (LLMs) need guidance to create content, supplied through "prompts."
  • Prompts are detailed instructions that tell LLMs what to create, like ingredients and instructions for a cake recipe.
  • Prompts can be used for various tasks, like drafting emails, summarizing conversations, or brainstorming names for new products.

Prompt Use Cases

  • Drafting a customer email: Write an email to follow up on a cake order.
  • Summarizing a conversation: Summarize key takeaways from a recorded business conversation.
  • Brainstorming names: Generate names for a gluten-free cake.

Effective Prompts

  • Prompts need concrete details and clear constraints for high-quality output.
  • "Grounding" prompts in specific details (data) improves accuracy—e.g., customer order details, relevant product information.
  • LLM settings (e.g., temperature) can affect prompt output; experimentation is recommended.
  • LLMs are not deterministic, meaning outputs may vary even for the same prompt.
  • Effective prompts include clear ingredients (details) and instructions, working together for better output.

Prompt Ingredients

  • Participants: Who is sending and receiving the output?
  • Setting: Contextual information for the prompt.
  • Goal: What outcome is desired from the output?
  • Relationships: The relationship between participants. How does output relate to them?
  • Data: Provide relevant data for the LLM to work with.
  • Instructions: Specific instructions about desired output format, content, length.
  • Limits: Constraints to prevent unwanted output (e.g., length limits, no guesses, avoid irrelevant content).
  • Language: The language in which the output should be generated.

Prompt Style and Tone

  • Style and tone guidelines should be provided to the LLM for consistent output.
  • Output should align with specific goals and expected contexts. Use simple language for 8th-grade reading level.
  • Avoid overly complex phrasing or wordiness.

Prompt Templates

  • Prompt templates are reusable prompts with placeholders for specific details (e.g., customer name, product).
  • Once filled in with data, they can generate personalized outputs.
  • This helps output be consistent for many similar situations.
