New DSPy Version Treats Prompts as Compiled Artifacts
dosco · x · 2026-07-20

The new version introduces stronger DSPy features, including typed modules, native Python composition, training examples, and a metric-driven compiler. The author clarifies that while prompts still exist in the new architecture, their role has shifted to compiled artifacts akin to machine code, rather than being the actual programs written directly by developers.
