It's hard to not like dspy with such results. Using dspy it seems that we can prompt gemma 1b to 'act' like sonnet 4 in a classification task. Until now we could only get that type of results with half-a-day of prompt engineering on 8b to 24b models depending on the subject being

I missed the event but followed it online. I think I have never been to a book launch (Yes, it's true!) - this one seemed so well done, and I enjoyed all the talks, especially the ones by Tejaswini and Aditya. Go, spread the word about Telugu literature in English translation!
