Instruction Following
Instruction following is an AI model's ability to accurately understand and execute explicit directions given in a prompt — including format requirements, length constraints, tone specifications, and multi-step procedures. Strong instruction following means the model does what you ask without ignoring parts of the prompt, adding unrequested content, or deviating from specified constraints.
Example
You prompt: "List exactly 5 benefits of remote work. Use bullet points. Keep each bullet under 15 words. Do not include an introduction or conclusion." A model with strong instruction following produces exactly 5 concise bullet points with no extra text. A weaker model might add an intro paragraph or list 7 items.
