Model Training & Adaptation
Prompt tuning
Teaching a set of numerical instructions to guide an AI while leaving most of its learning unchanged.
Example
A training process learns a soft prompt that helps an AI system classify text.
Why people use it
It adapts AI to a task by learning a small set of guiding values.
What you'll hear
“This is learned guidance, not just a rewritten sentence.”
What this means for you
Distinguish AI system adaptation methods from manual prompt editing.
Can you control it?
Developer-only
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Is prompt tuning just rewriting instructions by hand?
- No. Soft prompt learned settings are learned numerically rather than simply edited as ordinary text.
- Will the learned prompt look like ordinary writing?
- Often not. It can be a set of numbers that the AI uses internally.
- Can it work equally well for every task?
- No. The task, teaching examples and original AI system affect the result.
