Is it just me or is prompt engineering basically useless with smaller models? (alien.top)

I tried to apply a lot of prompting techniques in 7b and 13b models. And no matter how hard I tried, there was barely any improvement.

I've had success with 7b Llama2 for multiple prompt scenarios. Make sure you are defining the objective clearly.

At first after reading your post, I thought you're talking about something even smaller (phi-1/tiny llama).
