What is Prompt Engineering?
Prompt engineering is the process of crafting, testing, and refining AI prompts to ensure that LLMs generate reliable, high-quality, and contextually appropriate responses. In Future AGI, prompt engineering is structured around template management, execution tracking, optimization, and evaluation, providing a systematic way to improve prompt effectiveness over time.Core Components of Prompt Engineering
1. Prompt Management & Versioning
The system maintains a structured approach to storing and managing prompts. Each prompt template:- Is tracked and stored with metadata, allowing for easy reference and modification.
- Supports versioning, meaning users can revert to earlier versions if needed.
- Maintains relationships between original prompts and their optimized variations, ensuring that improvements are well-documented.
2. Execution & Tracking
Every time a prompt is running, the system logs execution details to track performance over time. This includes:- Capturing input and output data for each execution instance.
- Recording metadata, such as execution time, model configurations, and evaluation scores.
- Linking executions back to their original prompt template, allowing users to analyze and compare different versions.
3. Optimization & Refinement
A key feature of prompt engineering system in Future AGI is optimization, which systematically improves prompt performance through an iterative process.- Data Preparation: The system splits execution data into training and validation sets, preventing overfitting and ensuring prompts generalise well.
- Mini-Batch Processing: Prompts are tested in small batches, allowing fine-tuned adjustments based on performance metrics.
- Feedback Integration: The system analyses response patterns and refines prompt phrasing to increase clarity, reduce ambiguity, and enhance output consistency.
- Parallel Processing: Optimizations are run in parallel to speed up improvements without sacrificing accuracy.
4. Evaluation & Performance Scoring
To measure prompt effectiveness, the system includes built-in evaluation capabilities that:- Assess output quality based on predefined metrics, such as accuracy, coherence, and response efficiency.
- Compare optimized prompts against baseline versions, ensuring improvements are quantifiable.
- Allow users to define custom evaluation criteria, adapting the system to specific use cases.
