According to DeepLearning.AI (@DeepLearningAI), the new short course 'DSPy: Build and Optimize Agentic Apps,' developed in collaboration with Databricks, addresses key challenges in agent development such as brittle prompts, unclear intermediate steps, and inconsistent model performance. The course provides a structured framework for building robust agentic applications, emphasizing practical strategies to improve workflow transparency and reliability when switching between large language models. This initiative highlights a growing focus on scalable agent design and optimization, presenting a significant business opportunity for AI development teams seeking to streamline deployment and maintenance of production-ready agentic systems.
