The Art of Prompt Engineering: Crafting Inputs for Desired AI Outputs
Prompt engineering is the process of carefully crafting the prompts and inputs to AI models like GPT-3.5 in order to get the desired high-quality outputs. It involves tweaking parameters like wording, context, temperature, max tokens, and task decomposition.
Summary
- Prompt engineering is about finding the right way to frame tasks and questions to get the AI model to produce the desired response.
- It often requires iterative experimentation by making small changes to prompts and analyzing model outputs.
- Key aspects include specificity, providing relevant context, specifying output format/structure, adjusting temperature and max tokens, and breaking down complex tasks.
- Feedback loops and continuously refining prompts based on model responses is important.
- Prompt engineering patterns like conditional reasoning, providing examples, conversational formatting etc. can be used.
