Prompt Engineering
In this notebook we learn how prompts can be designed to carefully modify the output format. The more precisely we formulate the desired output, the closer this output will be to our expectation. The act of making the prompt more precise can be coined “prompt engineering”.
First let’s ask for a simple task.

* Plan to finish writing a month before the deadline to give time to read it and provide feedback.Loading...
