Few-shot Examples
A technique in prompt engineering that provides a small number of input-output pairs in the prompt, guiding the model to imitate the format and logic of the examples when completing a task. It is limited by its static nature and its dependence on human effort.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Few-shot examples are a common technique in prompt engineering, and their core limitations lie in being static and dependent on humans: the examples are written in advance by developers, cannot be automatically updated as the agent runs, and their number is limited by the context window.
MuscleMemory emphasizes automatically accumulating procedural memory from execution, which is fundamentally different from static, manually written few-shot examples.
