Why this matters
Prompting is the "programming language" of LLMs. Zero-shot is easy but often fails on edge cases.Few-shot anchors the model to a pattern, while Chain-of-Thought forces the model to use more "inference compute" by literally writing out its logic, which drastically reduces hallucinations in complex tasks.
