Recursive LLM prompts

Excellent fun. Now just to create a prompt to show iterated LLMs are turing complete.
ivape•10mo ago
Let's see Paul Allen's prompt.
ivape•10mo ago
The bigger picture goal here is to explore using prompts to generate new prompts

I see this as the same as a reasoning loop. This is the approach I use to quickly code up pseudo reasoning loops on local projects. Someone had asked in another thread "how can I get the LLM to generate a whole book", well, just like this. If it can keep prompting itself to ask "what would chapter N be?" until "THE END", then you get your book.

"Foundational AI companies love this one trick"

It's part of why they love agents and tools like cursor -> turns a problem that could've been one prompt and a few hundred tokens into dozens of prompts and thousands of tokens ;)

danielbln•10mo ago
It's be nice if I could solve any problem by speccing it out in its entirety and then just implement. In reality, I have to iterate and course correct, as do agentic flows. You're right that the AI labs love it though, iterating like that is expensive.

LLM quine when?

Repeat this sentence exactly.

The last commit is from April 2023, should this post maybe have a (2023) tag? Two years is eons in this space.
gwintrob•10mo ago
Crazy that OpenAI only launched o1 in September 2024. Some of these ideas have been swirling for a while but it feels like we're in a special moment where they're getting turned into products.
mentalgear•10mo ago
Well, I remember Chain of Thought being proposed as early as the GPT-3 release (2 years before chatGPT).
jdnier•10mo ago
The author is Co-founder of Databricks, creator of K Prize, so an early adopter.
vlan121•10mo ago
I had a different title. It was somehow changed to the name of the repository.
James_K•10mo ago
I feel that often getting LLMs to do things like mathematical problems or citation is much harder than simply writing software to achieve that same task.
kordlessagain•10mo ago
I love this! My take on it for MCP: https://github.com/kordless/EvolveMCP
K0balt•10mo ago
This is kind of like a self generating agentic context.. cool. I think regular agents, especially adversarial agents, are easier to get focused on most types of problems though.

Still clever.

mentalgear•10mo ago
Trying to save state in a non-deterministic system, not the best idea. Those things need to be externalised.
mentalgear•10mo ago
Should definitely get a date tag.
vlan121•10mo ago
I was leaving this one out, seems like a gag when you read it :D
