Can LLMs Learn From a Single Example?

 Originally published in Fast.AI, Sept 4, 2023. We’ve noticed an unusual training pattern in fine-tuning LLMs. At first we thought it’s a bug, but now we think it shows LLMs can learn effectively from a single example. How neural networks learn We train neural network classifiers by showing them examples of inputs and outputs, and
