By
–
Models have worked like that for over a year now – OpenAI have a similar mechanism, it's part of how their system prompts work The problem is that it's not infallible: even with special reserved tokens to delimit instructions vs data it's still possible for models to lose track

Making Unreliable AI Algorithms Work Practically
By
–
We can also figure out how to get useful results out of inherently unreliable algorithms – it's definitely possible, I've been finding useful ways to put this stuff to work for a couple of years now

LLM Non-determinism and Endpoint Predictability Challenges
By
–
The amount of non-deterministic behavior LLMs introduce makes me believe in techno-sorcery futures. Let's chant a verse, burn candles, perform data prayers and result purification rituals. Anything to get this endpoints perform predictable across different input
