DSPy vs. Manual Prompting Benchmark
What it is
A benchmarking harness that compares hand-written prompts against DSPy's BootstrapFewShot and MIPROv2 optimizers on three Portuguese-language tasks. It measures accuracy gains against actual API costs to determine if automatic prompt optimization is worth the investment.
The problem it solves
Most DSPy tutorials compare the framework against strawman prompts or no baseline, ignoring cost and failing to show cases where it doesn't pay off, leaving engineers without a clear decision-making tool.
What you could use it for
- Evaluating whether DSPy optimizers improve performance over manual prompting for specific tasks
- Benchmarking the cost-effectiveness of automatic prompt optimization strategies
- Comparing LLM performance on structured extraction, classification, and text-to-SQL tasks
