AI models and agents

Zero-shot

Performing a task without showing examples of expected answers in the prompt.

A practical example

A model receives only question classification instructions.

What should I know?

No examples does not mean the model has never encountered a similar task.

AI models and agents in practice

A model processes information; the application defines tools and permissions. Reliable answers require good sources and verification. Actions involving accounts, content, and orders must stay within the granted scope.
