E27: [Part 1] The Prompting Revolution: How 10 New Rules Are Rewriting AI's Playbook

Your prompts are dead. Not just inefficient—OBSOLETE. And most companies don't even know it yet.

Malcolm Verrota reveals how Stanford's research exposed that AI models use only 10-20% of their advertised context windows—while enterprises are paying millions for capacity they can't access.

Live he exposes shocking data: Thomson Reuters achieved 15% accuracy gains with XML formatting alone, while 80% of enterprise AI projects fail due to poor prompting strategies that ignore 2025's research breakthroughs.

With insider insights from failed implementations at Air Canada, DPD, and Chevrolet, Malcolm proves why traditional prompting wisdom is already 90% obsolete—and what you must do TODAY.

Top 5 Insights:

  1. Context Window Lie: 200,000 tokens advertised vs. 20,000 tokens actually usable
  2. Chunking Revolution: 20-page segments outperform 100-page documents by 40%
  3. Format Shock: XML/JSON prompts deliver 15-30% accuracy improvements
  4. Few-Shot Fallacy: 2-3 examples beat 15+ examples in 87% of use cases
  5. Testing Crisis: 4-5 instance validation required or face 40% inconsistency rates
