If DSPy is so great, why isn't anyone using it? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37417698 - Sept 2023 (52 comments)

We moved from structured decoding to tool calls and agents a long time ago. It was more useful when models were too weak to hold syntax reliably.

  • Techniques in DSPy are still extremely valuable. Your comment is akin to saying, we don't need feedback because open loop control is so good now. It is until it isn't. I don't need a deep understanding of the underlying theory because my gut reaction is always right, until it isn't.

  • Yeah. Myself, a PhD in math, have less attention to detail than models.

    Now their main weakness is creativity, planning and decision making
