Prompt sensitivity refers to the degree to which model output quality fluctuates with surface-level changes in the prompt (such as instruction wording, number and order of examples, and language choice).

UnverifiedBy constructing semantically equivalent but differently phrased prompt variants and observing the output distribution, one can distinguish whether sensitivity originates from the model or the evaluator.79% similarUnverifiedOn the semantic focus-sensitivity task, the performance of the prompting method was highly correlated with model size, whereas the performance of the token probability method did not depend on model size.76% similarUnverifiedThe specificity of the prompt determines the flexibility of the guardrail: highly rule-based prompts cause the model to mechanically execute the same strategy, while fine-grained context-aware prompts allow the model to choose responses according to different learning states.75% similarVerifiedPrompt engineering techniques (chain-of-thought, few-shot examples, role assignment, structured output, etc.) are in essence methods of narrowing the model's output distribution through additional linguistic constraints, guiding it toward a probability range closer to the user's intent.74% similarUnverifiedStructured prompts can significantly improve the output quality of large models compared to natural language descriptions, because the attention mechanism of LLMs is more sensitive to explicit constraints73% similar
