DSPy: Programming—not prompting—Foundation Models

Documentation: DSPy Docs

---

DSPy is the open-source framework for programming—rather than prompting—language models. It allows you to iterate fast on building modular AI systems and provides algorithms for optimizing their prompts and weights, whether you're building simple classifiers, sophisticated RAG pipelines, or Agent loops.

DSPy stands for Declarative Self-improving Python. Instead of brittle prompts, you write compositional Python code and use DSPy's tools to teach your LM to deliver high-quality outputs. This lecture is a good conceptual introduction. Meet the community, seek help, or start contributing via our GitHub repo here and our Discord server.
