The focus in developing large language model applications is shifting from prompt engineering to context engineering. While prompt engineering helps models understand instructions, context engineering is crucial for production systems by managing the information the model receives at inference time. This involves techniques like retrieval, memory management, tool output formatting, and pruning irrelevant data to ensure the model has the necessary context to provide accurate responses, especially for complex AI agents.
