Your Language Model Deserves Better Prompting

Language models have revolutionized AI interaction through prompt engineering, which is more an art than a science. DSPy introduces two new concepts for better control over generative AI systems: a programming model and optimizers or compilers. The DSPy programming model lets users define components of language model requests, while the compilers provide prompts that enhance LLM performance. Optimization strategies in machine learning have been transformed with LLMs, which no longer require gradient descent training but can be tweaked through prompting. DSPy's BootstrapFewShot, COPRO, and MIPRO optimizers help users tune instructions and create high-quality examples for better responses from LLMs.
