Multi-Turn Conversation

Noun · AI & Machine Learning

Definitions

  1. A conversation that continues across multiple turns, requiring the AI system to track prior context, clarify ambiguities, and remain consistent over time. Multi-turn conversations expose memory and instruction-following weaknesses more clearly than one-shot prompts.

    In plain English: A conversation with multiple rounds of messages and replies.

    Example: "Their eval set added multi-turn conversation cases because the assistant often forgot earlier constraints after a few replies."
