- [Instructor] Prompt engineering. Doesn't it sound intimidating? I'm excited to demystify prompt engineering in this video, so let's jump right in. By the end, you'll be crafting prompts that make large language models or LLMs work for you, and that's not always easy. What is prompt engineering? At its core, prompt engineering is like learning to speak AI, not in a literal sense, but in learning how to communicate effectively with LLMs. A prompt is an input you give to an AI model to elicit a specific response. It can be a question, an instruction, data, or a combination of these. Before we dive into the details of prompt engineering, it's important to understand how LLMs work at a high level. LLMs excel at understanding token relationships, a token being a word or character, and predicting the next token in a sequence. Because these models are trained on vast amounts of text, documents, and web pages, they essentially become advanced word completers. For example, if you prompt a…
