OpenAI, in collaboration with Microsoft and Deep Learning AI, has launched a free course on prompt engineering for beginners. Isa Fulford, an OpenAI engineer, and Andrew Ng will teach the course.
The course is designed for beginners with a basic knowledge of Python but also aims to provide advanced machine learning engineers with new insights into prompt engineering and the application of large language models.
You’ll learn about the following:
- Summarizing (e.g., summarizing user reviews for brevity)
- Inferring (e.g., sentiment classification, topic extraction)
- Transforming text (e.g., translation, spelling & grammar correction)
- Expanding (e.g., automatically writing emails)
- And more
Moreover, the course will teach you the fundamentals of crafting successful prompts and guide you through the process of methodically designing effective prompts. Additionally, you will acquire the skills to develop a tailored chatbot. The course includes several demonstrations allowing you to experiment directly with prompt engineering concepts.
Additionally, the course guides creating chatbots. Enrollment details and additional information can be found here.
Microsoft has also created a landing page on prompt engineering techniques, including various tutorials and examples. Among the topics discussed by Microsoft are the GPT-4-specific “System Messages” and “Few-Shot Learning,” which are illustrated through prompt examples.
Prompt engineering is an increasingly important field as large language models such as GPT-4 become more prevalent. The collaboration between OpenAI, Microsoft, and DeepLearning.ai aims to provide developers with the necessary tools and knowledge to utilize prompt engineering in their work effectively.
