    What is Prompt Engineering

    Prompt Engineering - Query design

    Designing queries or instructions to optimize LLM or VLM performance in multimodal tasks.

    How It Works

    Prompt engineering involves crafting queries or instructions to guide large language models (LLMs) or vision-language models (VLMs) in generating desired outputs. This process optimizes model performance by providing clear and contextually relevant prompts.

    Technical Details

    Effective prompt engineering requires understanding model behavior and capabilities. Techniques include using specific keywords, providing context, and iteratively refining prompts to achieve optimal results.

    Best Practices

    • Craft clear and contextually relevant prompts
    • Consider model behavior and capabilities
    • Iteratively refine prompts for optimal results
    • Use specific keywords and context
    • Regularly update prompt strategies

    Common Pitfalls

    • Using vague or ambiguous prompts
    • Ignoring model behavior and capabilities
    • Inadequate prompt refinement
    • Poor keyword and context usage
    • Lack of regular updates

    Advanced Tips

    • Use hybrid prompt techniques
    • Implement prompt optimization
    • Consider cross-modal prompt strategies
    • Optimize for specific use cases
    • Regularly review prompt performance
