Mental Models for Advanced ChatGPT Prompting with Riley Goodside - #652

Today we’re joined by Riley Goodside, staff prompt engineer at Scale AI. In our conversation with Riley, we explore LLM capabilities and limitations, prompt engineering, and the mental models required to apply advanced prompting techniques. We dive deep into understanding LLM behavior, discussing the mechanism of autoregressive inference, comparing k-shot and zero-shot prompting, and dissecting the impact of RLHF. We also discuss the idea that prompting is a scaffolding structure that leverages the model context, resulting in achieving the desired model behavior and response rather than focusing solely on writing ability.
