# Prompt Engineering Guide
|
|
|
|
Prompt engineering is a relatively new discipline for developing and optimizing prompts to efficiently use language models (LMs) for a wide variety of applications and research topics. Prompt engineering skills help to better understand the capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs). Researchers use prompt engineering to improve the capacity of LLMs on a wide range of common and complex tasks such as question answering and arithmetic reasoning. Developers use prompt engineering to design robust and effective prompting techniques that interface with LLMs and other tools.
|
|
|
|
Motivated by the high interest in developing with LLMs, we have created this new prompt engineering guide that contains all the latest papers, learning guides, lectures, references, and tools related to prompt engineering for LLMs.
|
|
|
|
Happy Prompting!

## Prompt Engineering for LLMs Course
|
|
|
|
Due to high demand, we've partnered with Maven to deliver a new [cohort-based course on Prompt Engineering for LLMs](https://maven.com/dair-ai/prompt-engineering-llms).
|
|
|
|
[Elvis Saravia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarsar/), who has worked at companies like Meta AI and Elastic, and has years of experience in AI and LLMs, will be the instructor for this course.
|
|
|
|
This hands-on course will cover prompt engineering techniques/tools, use cases, exercises, and projects for effectively working and building with large language models (LLMs).
|
|
|
|
Our past learners range from software engineers to AI researchers and practitioners in organizations like LinkedIn, Amazon, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Intuit, Fidelity Investments, Coinbase, Guru, and many others.
