Prompt engineering? more like prompt fun-gineering!
Anthropic has released new features to help developers create more useful applications with its language model, Claude.
Developers can now use Claude 3.5 Sonnet to generate, test, and evaluate prompts, utilizing prompt engineering techniques to create better inputs and improve Claude’s answers for specialized tasks.
Language models can be forgiving, but small changes to prompt wording can lead to significant improvements in results.

Anthropic’s new features, housed within the Evaluate tab in Anthropic Console, offer quick feedback that could make finding improvements easier, potentially replacing the need for prompt engineers.
Cooking up AI magic in Anthropic’s test kitchen
Anthropic Console, the startup’s test kitchen for developers, aims to attract businesses looking to build products with Claude.
The built-in prompt generator, unveiled in May, takes a short description of a task and constructs a longer, fleshed-out prompt using Anthropic’s own prompt engineering techniques.
Developers can test their AI application’s prompts in various scenarios within the Evaluate tab.

They can upload real-world examples to a test suite or ask Claude to generate an array of AI-generated test cases, compare the effectiveness of various prompts side-by-side, and rate sample answers on a five-point scale.
This feature could save developers significant time and effort, especially those with little or no prompt engineering experience.
