Same task, Chinese vs English prompts: how much difference
Experiment design set, results await raw records
This page gives only the experiment design, not the results. Numbers we haven’t run are never written; paste raw records into the table after running, then write the conclusion.
Question to answer
Same task, run once with a Chinese prompt and once with an English prompt — how much do output quality, token cost, and stability differ?
Control groups
Chinese prompt group / English prompt group; task and model identical, 3 runs each.
Environment & version
- Host version
- To fill
- Model ID
- To fill
- Mode / permissions
- Keep both groups identical
- Input files
- Record hashes so both runs use the same files

Conclusion
To be tested. Any conclusion must also state what it can't generalize to.
Why we don’t write results yet
Some models are more sensitive to English prompts; this site records raw data and does not endorse any model.
