Feynman Technique Prompt Forces AI to Explain Concepts at 4 Depth Levels

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A new prompting template applies the Feynman learning technique to LLMs, asking for explanations at four levels: for a 5-year-old, a tech enthusiast, a domain expert, and a one-sentence distillation. The method aims to expose gaps in understanding by forcing the model to shift registers. It works on GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini.
