On the topic of wrappers, as someone that's forced to use GPT-3.5 (or the like) for cost reasons, anything that starts modifying the prompt without explicitly showing me how is an instant no-go. It makes things really hard to debug.

Maybe I'm the equivalent of that idiot fighting against JS frameworks back when they first came out it but it feels pretty simple to just use individual clients and have pydantic load/validate the output.

No, you're along the right lines. Every prompting wrapper I've tried and looked through has been awful.

It's not really the authors' faults, it's just a weird new problem with lots of unknowns. It's hard to get the design and abstractions correct. I've had the benefit of a lot of time at work to build my own wrapper (solely for NLP problems) and that's still an ongoing process.
