Prompt Compression Techniques: How to Reduce LLM Costs Without Losing Important Context

Rick W 0 1
Large language models often receive more information than they need. A prompt may include long instructions, retrieved documents, chat history, examples, and tool descriptions.

Rick W 0 7

The agent needs the API token, so the token goes where tokens usually go: an environment variable, a config file, or straight into the prompt. The agent reads it and makes the call. It works. It also just placed a... The post Credentials should never reach the model appeared first on DataRobot.
