Best Practices

Best Practices Guide

Essential tips for building production-ready AI applications

Prompt Engineering

Be specific and detailed in your instructions

Use examples to demonstrate desired output format

Break complex tasks into smaller, sequential steps

Iterate and refine prompts based on results

Performance Optimization

Cache responses for repeated queries

Use streaming for real-time user feedback

Implement proper rate limiting and backoff

Monitor token usage and optimize prompt length

Quality Control

Validate and sanitize model outputs

Implement human review for critical decisions

Use temperature settings to control randomness

Test across diverse inputs and edge cases

Cost Management

Choose appropriate model size for each task

Implement request batching where possible

Use fine-tuned models for specialized tasks

Monitor and set budget alerts

Pro Tip: Always start with the simplest solution that works, then iterate based on real-world performance data. Over-engineering AI solutions often leads to unnecessary complexity and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Practical answers about prompts, tools, models, and production workflows in Generative AI

Prompting guides a pre-trained model through instructions in the input, requiring no model changes. Fine-tuning retrains the model on specific data to specialize its behavior, requiring computational resources but offering better performance for specific tasks.

Consider factors like task complexity, latency requirements, budget, and whether you need multimodal capabilities. Use smaller models (like GPT-3.5 or Llama) for simple tasks, and larger models (GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus) for complex reasoning. Benchmark multiple models on your specific use case.

The context window is the maximum amount of text (measured in tokens) a model can process at once. Larger context windows (like Gemini's 1M tokens) allow processing entire documents or long conversations, while smaller windows require chunking or summarization strategies.

Use appropriate model sizes, implement caching for repeated queries, batch requests when possible, optimize prompt length, use streaming to provide faster perceived performance, and consider fine-tuned smaller models for specialized tasks instead of always using large general-purpose models.

Tokens are pieces of words used by AI models. Generally, 1 token ≈ 4 characters or ≈ 0.75 words in English. Both input and output tokens count toward usage. Use tokenizer tools to estimate costs before making requests.
