Zero-shot Prompting
Also known as: zero shot
In one line
Asking the AI to do a task with no examples — just an instruction.
What does Zero-shot Prompting mean?
Zero-shot relies entirely on the model's pretrained knowledge. Modern LLMs handle most simple tasks zero-shot; complex or formatted tasks benefit from few-shot.
