提示 · 不改权重,也能改变方向 Prompt · Change Direction Without Changing Weights

task + constraint + example → candidate distribution → response

提示(Prompt)是推理时提供给模型、用于限定任务并影响输出的输入内容。它不会改模型参数,却是最常用的控制面。 A prompt is input supplied at inference time to define the task and shape the output. It does not change model parameters, yet it is the most common control surface.

01 · 同一个同事,不同任务单 01 · Same teammate, different brief

只说“帮我写一下”,和写清任务、禁区、范例,交付会一样吗? Will “write something for me” produce the same result as a clear task, boundary, and example?

03 三段提示,各管一件事 Three Prompt Sections, Three Jobs

输入结构 input structure
PART 01

任务:要做什么 Task: what to do

给出对象和动作。没有任务,候选会分散到闲聊或猜测。 Name the object and action. Without a task, candidates drift toward chat or guesswork.

PART 02

约束:什么不能做 Constraint: what is forbidden

声明禁区、长度或来源要求;它影响合规候选,但不是权限系统。 State exclusions, length, or source rules. This shapes compliant candidates but is not an authorization system.

PART 03

示例:结果长什么样 Example: what good looks like

少量示例可以示范格式与风格,不会把模型永久训练成这个样子。 A small example demonstrates format and style; it does not permanently retrain the model.

PART 04

候选:只是被影响 Candidates: shaped, not fixed

提示改变当前条件分布,不保证每次生成都绝对服从。 A prompt changes the current conditional distribution; it does not guarantee perfect obedience.

04 最小机制:提示进入条件,不进入权重 Minimal Mechanism: Prompt Enters the Condition, Not the Weights

P(output | prompt)
P(y | x, prompt; θ)
θ 是固定模型参数。编辑上方三段只改变 prompt,因此当前 y 的候选分布变化,θ 不变。 θ is the fixed model parameters. Editing the three sections changes the prompt and current distribution over y, not θ.
编辑输入 Edit input 任务/约束/示例改变 task/constraint/example changes
条件分布偏转 Distribution shifts 候选权重重新分配 candidate mass reallocates
权重仍固定 Weights stay fixed 下一次仍需带提示 prompt is needed again next time

05 边界实验:删掉敏感信息约束 Boundary Test: Remove the Sensitive-Data Constraint

主动制造失败 Create a failure

让“不合规详单”重新抬头 Let the noncompliant detail regain probability

清空约束,观察不合规候选概率上升。提示能影响输出,但真正的敏感信息控制还要靠护栏。 Clear the constraint and watch the noncompliant candidate gain probability. Prompts shape output; real sensitive-data control still needs guardrails.

尚未执行。敏感信息约束当前存在。 Not run yet. The sensitive-data constraint is present.
写过一次提示,模型就学会了。 One prompt permanently teaches the model. → ✓ 提示只在当前推理条件中起作用。 A prompt acts within the current inference condition.
提示越长,控制越强。 Longer prompts always provide stronger control. → ✓ 清楚、无冲突、可验证比堆字更重要。 Clarity, consistency, and testability matter more than length.
一句“不得泄露”就是完整护栏。 “Do not leak” is a complete guardrail. → ✓ 提示是控制面,不是独立权限或输出拦截器。 A prompt is a control surface, not an authorization or output-enforcement layer.
06 · 一句话带走 06 · One line to keep

提示在推理时用任务、约束和示例改变当前候选分布,但不改模型参数,也不能单独承担权限与安全保证。 A prompt uses tasks, constraints, and examples to shift the current candidate distribution at inference time, without changing model parameters or providing authorization by itself.
