LLM evaluation frameworks may mislead without prompt optimization

A new paper from Nicholas Sadjoli argues that current Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation frameworks are misleading because they use static prompts for all models. The research demonstrates that prompt optimization (PO) techniques, commonly used in industry to maximize performance, significantly alter model rankings. The findings emphasize the necessity for practitioners to conduct per-model prompt optimization when evaluating LLMs for specific tasks. AI
