AI-900Domain 5: Describe Features of Generative AI Workloads on AzureGenerative AImediumSingle choice
Adding examples of the desired input→output format directly into the prompt to shape model responses is called what?
A.Zero-shot prompting
Zero-shot = no examples, just instructions.
B.Few-shot prompting
Examples-in-prompt = few-shot. Correct.
C.Fine-tuning
Fine-tuning modifies the model itself — much heavier than prompting.
D.Grounding
Grounding injects external data — related but the examples-format technique is few-shot.
Why this answer
Few-shot = providing a few examples in the prompt so the model infers the pattern. Zero-shot = instructions only. Fine-tuning = actually retraining on data (heavier). Grounding = connecting the model to external knowledge (RAG).
