The field of large language models (LLMs) is rapidly evolving, with a focus on improving their performance, flexibility, and ability to handle diverse real-world scenarios. Recent developments have centered around enhancing the dialogue capabilities of LLMs, optimizing prompts for better model outputs, and adapting to user preferences. Noteworthy papers include DiaTool-DPO, which achieves state-of-the-art performance in information gathering and tool call rejection. GREATERPROMPT is also notable for its unified and customizable framework for prompt optimization, making it accessible to non-expert users.
