Instruction Following
The ability of a model to reliably follow task instructions expressed in natural language.
Instruction following is one of the key capabilities that determines the production value of modern LLM-based NLP systems. The model must do more than generate plausible language; it must also follow the provided goal, constraints, and formatting requirements. This creates broad applicability across classification, summarization, information extraction, and agent systems. Strong instruction following is the mechanism that turns model intelligence into practical workflow utility.
