Stop Prompting, Start Programming: A Hands-On DSPy Workshop
Large Language Models (LLMs) and agent frameworks have evolved rapidly — but we’re still stuck manually writing prompts and tweaking them endlessly. If your AI app feels brittle, inconsistent, or impossible to scale, it’s not your fault… it's the prompting.
What if we’ve been building LLM-powered applications the wrong way all along?
This is where DSPy comes in — a new paradigm for programming LLMs that treats prompt generation as a machine learning problem, not a human guessing game.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
In this hands-on mini workshop, you’ll discover:
1️⃣ The Pitfalls of Prompting
Why prompt engineering leads to fragile systems and diminishing returns.
2️⃣ A Smarter Approach
How treating prompt generation as a learning problem changes everything — and why you should program, not prompt.
3️⃣ DSPy in Action
A live, end-to-end tutorial showing how to build, optimize, and evaluate an LLM pipeline using DSPy — with real-time accuracy gains.
Whether you're a developer, ML engineer, or AI enthusiast, this session will help you stop hacking your prompts and start engineering real solutions.
