A new research paper explores the effectiveness of automated prompt optimization compared to expert-crafted prompts for large language models. The study systematically compared hand-crafted prompts, base DSPy signatures, and GEPA-optimized DSPy signatures across translation, terminology insertion, and language quality assessment tasks. Results indicated that automated and manual prompts often yield similar quality, with performance varying by task and model configuration. AI
