// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Robustness
An AI system's ability to perform reliably and consistently even when faced with unexpected or slightly altered inputs.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Robustness refers to an AI model's, such as a neural network or LLM, resilience and stable performance under perturbed, noisy, or out-of-distribution input data, ensuring consistent and reliable outputs despite minor variations or adversarial attacks.
BACKGROUND
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
