Ask HN: Are new lines useless with LLMs?
1 point by saliagato on June 23, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
To LLMs experts, I'm wondering if new lines (\n) are useless when prompting LLMs like GPT-4.

They are indeed very token-consuming, so knowing if it's possible to omit them is nice.

Of course I'm wondering about generation performances if omitting



I couldn't understand your subject line because of a typo. \n is known as a "newline"; "new lines" could be anything, but not \n.
