A comprehensive survey of current challenges for LLMs.

OODA loop

link

Constantly performing the loop - Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. Originally developed by United States Air Force Colonel John Boyd for combat operations, it has been applied in other areas, like industrial applications, project assessment, etc.

Prompt Engineering
