Prompt engineering is a relatively new discipline for developing and optimizing prompts to efficiently use language models (LMs) for a wide variety of applications and research topics. Prompt engineering skills help to better understand the capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs). Researchers use prompt engineering to improve the capacity of LLMs on a wide range of common and complex tasks such as question answering and arithmetic reasoning. Developers use prompt engineering to design robust and effective prompting techniques that interface with LLMs and other tools.
Motivated by the high interest in developing with LLMs, we have created this new prompt engineering guide that contains all the latest papers, learning guides, lectures, references, and tools related to prompt engineering for LLMs.
🌐 Prompt Engineering Guide (Web Version)
We've partnered with Maven to deliver the following live cohort-based courses on prompt engineering:
-
LLMs for Everyone (Beginner) - learn about the latest prompt engineering techniques and how to effectively apply them to real-world use cases.
-
Prompt Engineering for LLMs (Advanced) - learn advanced prompt engineering techniques to build complex use cases and applications with LLMs.
Happy Prompting!
