MLOps Coffee Sessions #167 with Maxime Beauchemin, Treating Prompt Engineering More Like Code.
// Abstract
Promptimize is an innovative tool designed to scientifically evaluate the effectiveness of prompts. Discover the advantages of open-sourcing the tool and its relevance, drawing parallels with test suites in software engineering. Uncover the increasing interest in this domain and the necessity for transparent interactions with language models. Delve into the world of prompt optimization, deterministic evaluation, and the unique challenges in AI prompt engineering.
// Bio
Maxime Beauchemin is the founder and CEO of Preset, a series B startup supporting and commercializing the Apache Superset project. Max was the original creator of Apache Airflow and Apache Superset when he was at Airbnb. Max has over a decade of experience in data engineering, at companies like Lyft, Airbnb, Facebook, and Ubisoft.
