Techniques
Few-Shot Prompting
Including 1-5 worked examples of the desired input/output pattern in the prompt so the model can infer the task format and style.
DevelopmentFine-Tuning
Additional training of a pretrained LLM on task-specific or domain-specific data -- updating the model's weights to specialize it, rather than prompting a generic model.
DevelopmentFunction Calling
A provider-specific API feature where the model returns a structured tool-call request (function name + JSON arguments) that your runtime executes and feeds back.
