Building Reflective Prompt Optimization with GEPA: Multi-Component Prompts, Structured Feedback, and Held-Out Validation

In this tutorial, we use GEPA as a reflective prompt-evolution framework to improve the way a language model solves arithmetic word problems. We begin with a weak seed prompt, create a small deterministic benchmark, define a structured evaluator, and pass actionable feedback to GEPA so it can understand why a candidate prompt fails. We also […]

Meet Harness-1: A 20B Retrieval Subagent Trained With Reinforcement Learning Inside a Stateful Search Harness on gpt-oss-20b

Most search agents are trained as policies over a growing transcript. The model decides how to search. It must also remember what it saw, which evidence matters, and which claims it checked. A team of researchers from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, UC Berkeley, and Chroma argues this asks too much. Reinforcement learning ends up optimizing

NVIDIA garak Tutorial: Build a Complete Defensive LLM Red-Teaming Workflow with Custom Probes and Detectors

In this tutorial, we analyze NVIDIA garak as a practical framework for defensive LLM red-teaming. We start by setting up Garak, then move through plugin discovery, dry runs, real-model scans, multi-probe evaluations, report analysis, custom probe creation, custom detector creation, and AVID export. Instead of running only a single scan, we use Garak end-to-end to
