Introduction to Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the art of designing and refining inputs for large language models. By crafting clear, specific prompts, you can guide these models to produce better outputs. Learn more about key terms like tokens Tokens are the individual pieces of text that models use to process input. and models Large language models (LLMs) generate text based on the prompts provided. .

Structuring Prompts

Effective prompts have a clear structure: context, instructions, and examples. Compare a simple prompt with one that offers detailed guidance.

Before

"Tell me about dogs."

After

"Provide a detailed summary of the history, common breeds, and care tips for dogs."

Word Choice & Language Nuance

Choose the best word to complete the prompt:

Prompt: "Explain the _____ of prompt engineering."
