Häufig gestellte Fragen

What's the difference between zero-shot and few-shot?
Zero-shot: no examples provided, the model understands the instruction alone. Few-shot: 2-5 examples are provided to guide the model. Few-shot often gives better results.
Can all LLMs do zero-shot?
Large LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini) excel at zero-shot. Smaller models often need examples (few-shot) to perform well.
