I wrote this blog post [link redacted] which seems to be a more brief introduction to some of these concepts. I guess the assistant API has changed the landscape but even that must be using some of these techniques under the hood, so I think it's still fascinating to study.

As far as I can tell this doesn't mention prompt injection at all.

I think it's essential to cover this any time you are teaching people how to build things on top of LLMs.

It's not an obscure concept: it's fundamental, because most of the "obvious" things people want to build on top of LLMs need to take it into account.

UPDATE: They've confirmed that this is a topic planned for a forthcoming lesson.

Create an issue at https://github.com/microsoft/generative-ai-for-beginners. There is a call to action for feedback and looks like at least one of the contributors are in education, so will probably take the feedback on board.

I enjoyed your post, but I don't see how it compares given there isn't much "how-to".

I guess that's fair, it's more about the concepts. I will say that I would have liked to have read something like it before starting the project, it would have made the journey (which I have still only just started) quite a bit easier.

Doing that now, thanks.
