What is a "system prompt"?
- ATop-level instructions — they set the model's behavior for the whole conversation
- BAn automatic error report — a message logged when the model crashes mid-reply
- CThe system's hardware specs — the server details the model runs its work upon
- DA status update from the app — a notice telling you the service is online now
Why this is the answer
A system prompt is top-level instruction that sets the model's behavior for the whole conversation. It's not an error log, hardware spec, or status notice.
