ell is a lightweight prompt engineering library treating prompts as functions, that enables prompt versioning, optimization, tracing, readability, and visualization via lexical closures.
I built ell based on some ideas during my time as a research scientist at OpenAI around language model programming, with the aim of building the PyTorch of prompt engineering. AI engineering needs good, open-source and free tooling, so we've built a tensorboard-like visualization tool (studio) packaged along side ell to fully leverage this new library.
really excited about this, and would love some feedback!
If big LM's are the future then even if you had the model you couldn't run it on your own machines without having a DGX or two laying around.
