Prompt & Context Engineering
A model reliably follows a format on 3 worked examples in training conversations but drifts on live traffic with slightly different phrasing. What's the standard upgrade from plain instructions here?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B — Add few-shot examples showing the exact input-output pattern
Few-shot examples are the standard, cheap upgrade when instructions alone don't generalize to edge cases — faster than fine-tuning and cheaper than a tier upgrade, and it directly targets the pattern-following gap.
