Automated Prompt Optimization (DSPy-style) (EXPLAINED)
Programmatic prompt tuning with labeled datasets, composable modules, and optimizers that search instructions and demonstrations.
TL;DR — Quick Answer
DSPy-style frameworks treat prompts as optimizable programs: you define modules (chain-of-thought, retrieval) and metrics, then search over instructions and few-shot demos using algorithms like BootstrapFewShot or MIPRO. Unlike manual tweaking, optimization is data-driven and reproducible — but still needs quality datasets and can overfit small eval sets.
