Prompt Engineering in the OpenAI Playground
In this session we went over the newly designed OpenAI Playground.
I focus on tips for how to use it to optimize prompts. If you are new to the academy and going over our Prompt Engineering courses, this will be extremely relevant to you.
Even if you have some experience already, there are a few ideas here that you will find useful too.
Join us to learn from demos, and to ask questions on anything regarding the new OpenAI Playground.
