Aman Bhargava, a PhD student at Caltech, and Cameron Witkowski, a graduate student at the University of Toronto, dive into their groundbreaking research on controlling language models using control theory. They discuss how language models operate as discrete systems and the surprising impact of prompt engineering on outputs. By examining the "reachable set" of outputs, they reveal that even minor tweaks in prompts can lead to significant changes in generated text. Their insights could pave the way for more reliable and capable AI systems.
