The prompt engineering here is super impressive!
Such a great example of agent prompting:
He’s completely right; AI acts as an amplifier, which is why being a subject matter expert in your field is so crucial, even as generalist roles gain popularity.
You should write the first version of the prompt yourself, but afterwards, you should run an optimizer when creating prompts for long-running agents.
I wouldn’t use something like GEPA or even DSPy for this kind of task since you need to spend a lot of tokens due to the council style orchestration requirement, but using multiple xHigh reasoning models on the prompt and manually evolving it would be a good solution.
Yes, but it would be great if OpenAI shared more details on this prompt.
