Topic #1 Prompt Tuning [Chart]( Prompt tuning is the process of tweaking a prompt used to interact with a generative AI model. Specifically, prompt tuning allows the user to quickly iterate and experiment with different prompts to improve the model's performance. For example, a user may use the following prompt with ChatGPT: “write a cover letter for an engineering position at Google”. After ChatGPT provides the initial cover letter, the user can use prompt tuning (“make the language less formal”) to improve the output for their specific use case. What's Next Prompt tuning is part of the Prompt Engineering meta trend. Searches for “[prompt engineering]( have grown 2500% over the past 12 months. Prompt engineering is becoming an in-demand skill as people discover that different prompts can lead to dramatically different outputs.
