The potential of a third learning paradigm that learns and edits text instructions without changing model parameters (Pretraining → Fine Tuning → )

We're missing (at least one) major paradigm for LLM learning. Not sure what to call it, possibly it has a name - system prompt learning?Pretraining is for knowledge.Finetuning (SL/RL) is for habitual behavior.Both of these involve a change in parameters but a lot of human…— Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy) May 11, 2025
