Why do I get results without filling out the prompt?
Hello.
I am interested in and testing Guard Llama.
Normally, prompts are used for training, so when testing, the same prompt must be entered to produce results.
Why is it that the result comes out well even if you just enter an input question like in the example?
thanks.
I don't see the example in your post.
Using the exact prompt that was used at train time is likely to give the best results, but the model will also generalize to produce relevant outputs on variations of the prompt, or even on the conversation format since it has been trained specifically for this task.
