Generative AI at Work / Unit 3 GAI 061 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Learning From the Prompt
Captions available
The idea
The DAIR.AI guide calls the effect of few-shot examples in-context learning: the model picks up a task from demonstrations inside the prompt.
In practice
The same model labels emails your way in one conversation and its own way in the next, when the examples are gone.
Where people slip
In-context learning lasts only as long as the context; it does not retrain the model.
