Comparing Model Adaptation Strategies

A team is developing an application that requires a Large Language Model to summarize legal documents. They are considering two approaches:

  1. Providing a detailed prompt with several high-quality examples of legal summaries each time they need a new document summarized.
  2. Using a large dataset of legal documents and their corresponding summaries to perform additional training on the base model.

Analyze the fundamental difference between these two approaches in terms of where the 'knowledge' of the legal summarization task resides. Evaluate the potential advantages and disadvantages of each approach regarding performance, cost, and operational efficiency.
