On Engineering AI Systems that Endure The Bitter Lesson - Omar Khattab, DSPy & Databricks

Omar Khattab, creator of DSPy, reinterprets the 'Bitter Lesson' for AI engineering, arguing that the key to building robust and enduring AI systems is to move beyond brittle prompt engineering. He advocates for a declarative, modular approach that separates the fundamental program logic from the rapidly changing landscape of LLMs, optimizers, and inference techniques.
