Well, that won't affect the performance of the model all that much, because the main thing it takes away from the few-shot prompt is the structure of the output rather than the content of the output.

Then once you get to thought generation, people start to think, what is going on here? So I think everybody, well, not everybody, but people that were tweaking with these things early on saw the take a deep breath, and things step-by-step, and all these different techniques that the people had.

I guess the best way to go through this, you know, you picked out 58 techniques out of your, I don't know, 4,000 papers that you reviewed, maybe we just pick through a few of these that are special to you and discuss them a little bit.

I think one problem for me for designing these things with cost awareness is the question of, well, okay, at the baseline, you can just use the same model for everything, but realistically you have a range of models, and actually you just want to sample all range.

I'll call out two recent papers which people might want to look into, which is a Salesforce yesterday released a paper called Diversity Empowered Intelligence, which is a, I think a shot at the bow for scale AI.

We just assume that people roughly know, but yeah, I think a dedicated episode directly on this, I think is something that's sorely needed. And then, you know, something I prompted Sander with is when I wrote about the rise of the AI engineer, it was actually a direct opposition to the rise of the prompt engineer, right?
