Learn to Spell - Prompt Engineering
Explore the world of prompt engineering in this 52-minute video lecture from The Full Stack's LLM Bootcamp. Gain high-level intuitions and a default playbook for prompting language models, examining two contrasting perspectives: "language models as statistical models of text" and "prompts as magic spells." Delve into various prompting techniques, including decomposition, reasoning, and reflection. Learn about the limitations of LLMs as simulators, the challenges of character-level operations, and why few-shot learning may not be the ideal model for prompting. Discover how prompts can act as portals to alternate universes, make wishes come true, and even create golems. By the end, master the prompting playbook that incorporates reasoning, reflection, and ensembling techniques to effectively harness the power of language models.
