Smarter Prompting, Faster: Introducing Opik's Agent Optimizers
Join this hands-on workshop to explore Opik’s Agent Optimizers, Comet’s newly released public Beta project. We’ll dive into automating and visualizing the optimization of LLM prompts and workflows, significantly speeding up prompt tuning—even for more complex multi-agent systems. Using this cutting-edge, open-source beta project, we’ll conduct experiments that demonstrate powerful algorithms designed to accelerate your LLM prompts’ path to production. Building upon Opik’s datasets, metrics, and experiments, our Agent Optimizers introduce innovative abstractions for visualizing and understanding the optimization process.
