Question

A financial analyst uses a gen AI model to solve multi-step budget allocation word problems. When she asks the model to give the final answer directly, it frequently makes arithmetic and logic errors. She wants to improve accuracy without collecting labeled examples or tuning the model. Which prompt engineering technique should she apply?

Accepted Answer

Add an instruction asking the model to work through the problem step by step before giving the final answer

Answer

Provide five fully worked example problems with their answers in the prompt

Answer

Lower the temperature setting to zero so the model is more deterministic

Answer

Fine-tune the model on a dataset of solved budget problems
