Overview
System prompts define the behavior mode of the AI assistant, including character settings, language styles, task modes, and specific behaviors. Qwen-1.8B-Chat and Qwen-72B-Chat have been specifically trained with enhanced system prompt capabilities.Model Support:System prompt enhancement is currently available in:
- ✅ Qwen-72B-Chat
- ✅ Qwen-1.8B-Chat
What are System Prompts?
System prompts set the foundational behavior of the AI assistant:- Character Settings: Define who the assistant is (e.g., “You are a helpful assistant”)
- Language Style: Control tone, formality, and expression style
- Task Modes: Specify specialized tasks (e.g., translation, summarization)
- Behavioral Rules: Define specific behaviors and constraints
Basic Usage

Adjust system prompts based on context:Context-Aware System Prompts
Best Practices
Be Specific
Provide clear, detailed instructions rather than vague directives
Test Stability
Verify the system prompt maintains effect across multiple turns
Use Examples
Include examples in system prompts to demonstrate desired behavior
Keep Reasonable Length
Balance detail with token efficiency; very long system prompts may impact performance
