Treat LLM prompts as code for better production management

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The article advocates for treating prompts used with large language models (LLMs) as code, emphasizing the need for version control, regression testing, and rollback capabilities. It highlights how subtle prompt changes can lead to statistical shifts in output, causing issues weeks later that are difficult to trace. Implementing a "prompt-as-code" approach involves storing prompts, model IDs, and sampling settings in a repository, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines, and using automated tests to assert output structure rather than exact wording.
