Strategy positions
Open sourceendorses
Release weights widely; transparency beats closed safetyArgues programmatic LLM pipelines, not prompt engineering, are how production AI systems should be built; this requires open infrastructure to be fully practical.
DSPy lets you treat LLM calls as differentiable building blocks, optimized end-to-end against a metric. The shift is from prompt-tuning by hand to compiling LLM programs.
