Configuring Arc Intelligence settings

A learning language model (LLM) is an artificial intelligence program that can continuously predict the next word in a sequence. It is the backbone behind text generation and processing. Examples of popular models include GTP-4o by Open AI, Claude 3.5 Sonnet by Anthropic, and Llama 3.2 by Meta.

When you receive an Arc Intelligence license, you receive a default model, which we recommend using; however, you have can choose your own model. For instance, you might prefer a model by Anthropic or Meta instead of Open AI. You may change the default model or add additional models that your prompts can use.

A prompt is the text you provide to the AI model to generate a response. Effective prompts help ensure the AI model produces relevant and useful content for your writing needs.

Your users can enter their own prompts, but you can also provide predefined prompts to help them quickly accomplish repetitive tasks.

Arc Intelligence comes with several default prompts, including headlines, subheadlines, and tags. For example, a prompt for headlines might read:

<title>Headlines Generation</title>
<task>Generate up to five AP-style headlines based on the provided context.</task>
<rules>
    Carefully read and comprehend the context to understand the key facts and overarching theme.
    Identify key elements, such as people, places, events, and outcomes, that are essential for an engaging headline.
    Use impactful keywords from the context to reflect the story’s core message clearly and concisely.
    Each headline must be engaging without being sensational and adhere to journalistic integrity, suitable for online news outlets.
    Generate each headline with a unique angle, highlighting different aspects of the story to provide variety across the set.
    Ensure each headline is concise, no longer than **10 words**, and avoids technical jargon, focusing on clarity and accessibility.
    Capitalize the **first word** and all **proper nouns, abbreviations, and words with four or more letters**. Use lowercase for all other words (For, “The people making North Dakota’s future bright”).
    Use **single quotes** for quotations (For example, "Why Joe said 'no'").
    Use **numerals** for all numbers, even if they start a headline (For example, "5 ways to save energy").
    Avoid unnecessary punctuation and abbreviations, following AP style conventions (For example, no Oxford commas).
    Review all five headlines to ensure each one offers a unique perspective on the story while maintaining consistency in style and tone.

<formatting>
    Respond with a JavaScript array, such as `["headline1", "headline2", ...]`, with each element containing a single headline in **double quotes**. Avoid line breaks inside the headlines and do not include any introductory text or explanations.
