FAQPage Schema
How do I build a multi-hop RAG system with declarative programming?

You build a multi-hop RAG system by defining modular pipelines with declarative signatures, allowing automatic prompt optimization to handle information retrieval and reasoning tasks.

Can I use OpenAI and Anthropic models for automatic prompt optimization?

Yes, automatic prompt optimization integrates directly with OpenAI and Anthropic models, using data-driven methods to iteratively refine prompts and improve language model outputs.

What is declarative language model programming and when do I need it?

Declarative language model programming abstracts complex AI system logic into modular signatures, needed when building maintainable and portable reasoning pipelines or agent systems.

Does this approach work for building agent systems that perform research and calculations?

Yes, you can construct agent systems for research and calculations by defining declarative AI pipelines that leverage language models for automated reasoning and data processing.

How do I optimize prompts for complex AI system development without manual tuning?

You optimize prompts automatically by applying data-driven optimization techniques to your declarative language model programs, eliminating manual tuning for complex AI pipelines.

What are the limitations of using declarative signatures for information retrieval tasks?

Declarative signatures require dependencies on dspy, openai, and anthropic libraries, meaning complex information retrieval tasks are constrained by underlying language model capabilities and API availability.
