User-Facing AI Concepts
Last updated: December 9, 2024

Definition

The ability of AI models to adapt and perform tasks based on examples provided within the input prompt without updating their weights.

Detailed Explanation

In-context learning allows language models to perform new tasks by understanding and following patterns presented in the prompt itself. Unlike traditional machine learning which requires model retraining, in-context learning enables real-time adaptation to new tasks through clever prompt design and example presentation. This capability emerges from the model's pre-training on diverse datasets and its ability to recognize and apply patterns.

Use Cases

Custom formatting tasks specialized text generation data transformation and dynamic response adaptation
