EvoPrompt is a novel framework that automates the complex task of prompt optimization for Large Language Models (LLMs). By combining the power of evolutionary algorithms with the language processing capabilities of LLMs, EvoPrompt efficiently generates and refines prompts, significantly outperforming human-engineered prompts and other automated methods, often by as much as 25% on complex tasks. This innovative approach works on diverse LLMs, including GPT-3.5 and Alpaca, and across various tasks.
EvoPrompt, through iterative generations and evolution-based evaluations, optimizes prompts without relying on gradients or parameters. It allows users to customize configurations with ease, balancing cost and performance, making it a valuable tool for researchers and developers looking to maximize the potential of LLMs while minimizing manual prompt engineering efforts. This offers the advantage of leveraging the power of LLMs efficiently by improving the prompts for performance while also being easy to implement and use.
