Automatic Prompt Engineer (APE) is a Python library implementing the research method from 'Large Language Models Are Human-Level Prompt Engineers'. It automatically generates and selects natural language instructions by searching over LLM-proposed prompt candidates to maximize a scoring function.

Use cases

  • automatically generate prompts for an LLM task
  • find the best instruction for zero-shot classification
  • improve few-shot learning by prepending optimized prompts
  • replace manual prompt engineering with automated search
  • steer a model toward truthfulness with optimized instructions

When to choose

  • you want to automatically discover effective task instructions instead of handcrafting prompts
  • you're reproducing or building on the APE research paper
  • you have evaluation data and an OpenAI API key to score candidate prompts

When to avoid

  • you need a production-grade prompt management platform with UI and versioning
  • you don't have an OpenAI API key or evaluation datasets
  • you need actively maintained tooling - the repo appears research-oriented with limited upkeep
