Unleashing the Power of Short Prompts: A Game-Changer in LLM Interaction

Google’s new 45-page Prompting Guide for Gemini is out and it’s a revelation! The guide emphasizes the effectiveness of concise prompts, debunking the myth that longer prompts yield better results. The most successful prompts in their experiments were a mere 21 words! This doesn’t downplay the value of complex prompts, but rather highlights the importance of choosing a style that aligns with your workflow.

The guide also offers practical tips such as writing in natural language, being concise, avoiding jargon, breaking up complex requests into separate prompts, and setting constraints like character limits. The key is to experiment and iterate until you get the desired output.

Remember, the goal is to interact with the LLM as you would with a human. So, ditch the idea that longer prompts equate to better results. Instead, focus on creating clear, concise, and human-like prompts. For the full guide, click here.
