Prompt engineering for architects and developers

-- Description

In an age where large language models such as OpenAI’s GPT series are becoming increasingly relevant, software developers and architects face the exciting challenge of optimally utilizing these technologies for chat applications. The key to high-quality interactions with such AI models lies in the art of precise and well thought-out prompt engineering.

This full-day workshop will teach you the basics of large-language models and show you how to apply your knowledge of prompt engineering in a targeted manner. The focus is on universal techniques that can be applied not only to a specific model such as ChatGPT, but also to other AI systems. In addition, you will gain insights into future developments and learn how to apply your knowledge flexibly in new and unfamiliar contexts.

The highlight of the workshop is building your own chat frontend that gets the most out of the OpenAI API. Together we will develop solutions in which the model can correct itself and open up new approaches for the optimization of AI-supported applications.

The workshop is specifically tailored to the needs of software developers in the architecture role and software architects. Note: You need a ChatGPT+ account to participate.

This training is your introduction to the world of prompt engineering and the basis for innovative applications that you can develop further on your own.
