Promptbreeder: Self-Referential Self-Improvement Via Prompt Evolution (Paper Explained)

#ai #promptengineering #evolution

Promptbreeder is a self-improving self-referential system for automated prompt engineering. Give it a task description and a dataset, and it will automatically come up with appropriate prompts for the task. This is achieved by an evolutionary algorithm where not only the prompts, but also the mutation-prompts are improved over time in a population-based, diversity-focused approach.
