Mastering core concepts in AI, like context windows, is crucial for optimizing human-machine interactions and prompt engineering techniques.
Context windows in AI models represent the range of contextual tokens a model can process during a conversation.
Models have a fixed limit on the capacity to handle contextual information, leading to older conversation parts being discarded to make room for new inputs.
There is a trend of increasing context window sizes in AI models, with state-of-the-art models handling up to a million tokens.
Models sometimes struggle with processing and utilizing middle sections of extensive input data, showing biases towards information at the beginning and end.
Crafting prompts with duplicated relevant information can help models better interpret inputs and improve response accuracy.
Being clear, direct, and specific in prompts leads to stronger outputs, while role-based prompts align with models fine-tuned through Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback.
Description Before Completion technique helps in identifying how well a model understood a prompt, aiding in debugging and refinement.
Understanding the training data sources and aligning prompts with the model's training format can enhance the quality of inferences.
Ensuring Discourse Correctness in prompts maintains logical flow and coherence, contributing to reducing model hallucinations.
