To improve the reliability and performance of LLMs, sometimes you need to break large tasks/prompts into sub-tasks. Prompt chaining is when a task is split into sub-tasks with the idea to create a chain of prompt operations. Prompt chaining is useful if the LLM is struggling to complete your larger complex task in one step.  Continue reading Prompt Engineering Best Practices: What is Prompt Chaini...

LLMs are basically big “text predictors” that try to generate outputs based on what it expects is the most likely desired output based on what the user provides as the text-based input, the prompt.
