Here comes a new way to talk to AI. lets see the power of PDL in the world of LLMs

When we think of working with Large Language Models (LLMs) — those amazing AIs that can write poems or even code — we often forget one important part, i.e.

Prompt engineering is like giving instructions to these smart models.

It’s about talking to AI in a way that helps it understand what we want.

But it isn’t always easy — sometimes our prompts work well, and sometimes they cause confusion or mistakes.

Researchers call this problem brittleness.

To solve these challenges, researchers from IBM and UC Davis created something new:

Prompt Declaration Language (PDL)

In this article, I will explain what PDL is and why it’s important. And how it makes working with LLMs easier and more effective.

So, let’s explore this interesting research that mixes smart programming ideas with real-world AI problems.

Suppose you’re a developer or have tried working with prompts. You may have felt overwhelmed.

There are a lot of tools out there — like LangChain, AutoGen, and Guidance — that aim to help people work with LLMs better, RIGHT?

These tools have good features but… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
