Types of Prompt Operations

There are three fundamental types of prompt operations that enhance the functionality of language models: reductive, transformational, and generative operations. Reductive operations focus on summarization and extraction, where larger inputs are condensed into simpler outputs, allowing for efficient information processing. Transformational operations maintain the same meaning but may alter the format or structure of the content, enabling it to be refined or articulated differently. Generative operations expand upon smaller inputs to create comprehensive outputs such as drafting or brainstorming, which facilitate creativity and deeper insights.
