TDS Newsletter: Beyond Prompt Engineering: The New Frontiers of LLM Optimization

Extracting meaningful outputs from LLMs in a cost- and time-effective way requires moving beyond basic prompt engineering. This newsletter explores recent approaches that push AI workflows to the next level, such as context engineering for self-improving systems and "Vibe Proving" for verifiable reasoning. It also highlights techniques like automatic prompt optimization for multimodal agents and links to articles on reducing LLM memory, data poisoning, and advanced topic modeling.
