coolprompt 1.1.0

Framework for automative prompting creation and optimization

CoolPrompt is a framework for automative prompting creation and optimization.

Practical cases

• Automatic prompt engineering for solving tasks using LLM
• (Semi-)automatic generation of markup for fine-tuning
• Formalization of response quality assessment using LLM
• Prompt tuning for agent systems

Core features

• Optimize prompts with our autoprompting optimizers: HyPE, ReflectivePrompt, DistillPrompt
• LLM-Agnostic Choice: work with your custom llm (from open-sourced to proprietary) using supported Langchain LLMs
• Generate synthetic evaluation data when no input dataset is provided
• Evaluate prompts incorporating multiple metrics for both classification and generation tasks
• Retrieve feedbacks to interpret prompt optimization results
• Automatic task detecting for scenarios without explicit user-defined task specifications

Quick install

• Install with pip:

pip install coolprompt

• Install with git:

git clone https://github.com/CTLab-ITMO/CoolPrompt.git

pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick start

Import and initialize PromptTuner using model qwen3-4b-instruct via HuggingFace

from coolprompt.assistant import PromptTuner

prompt_tuner = PromptTuner()

prompt_tuner.run('Write an essay about autumn')

print(prompt_tuner.final_prompt)

# You are an expert writer and seasonal observer tasked with composing a rich,
# well-structured, and vividly descriptive essay on the theme of autumn...
