Every guide here starts from the same request: a text, one or more yes/no questions, and one probability back per question. What changes is what the question is for.
- Ask a local LLM a yes/no question and get P(yes) is the reference: fields, answers, Python, the command line, thresholds.
- Zero-shot text classification with yes/no questions turns a set of labels into one question each.
- LLM policy decisions: put the rule in the question covers business rules, which is where the model is weakest and where the wording matters most.
- LLM as a judge on a CPU uses the same questions to grade another model's output.
