Deep dives

Understanding BAML and Its Purpose

BAML is designed as a domain-specific language to facilitate writing and testing functions for Large Language Models (LLMs). It addresses the growing complexity of managing numerous prompts in codebases by introducing a more structured syntax that enhances both readability and usability. This new approach aims to eliminate potential pitfalls seen in traditional coding practices, such as missed syntax errors that can lead to significant project disruptions. By promoting a more rigorous coding environment, BAML enhances developers' experiences while working with prompts in LLM applications.
