When Generic Prompt Improvements Hurt: Evaluation-Driven Iteration for LLM Applications
Researchers present the Minimum Viable Evaluation Suite (MVES), a framework for systematically testing LLM applications, revealing that generic prompt improvements often fail to deliver consistent gains and can cause significant performance regressions. Testing on local models showed that adding generic rules to prompts degraded RAG citation compliance by up to 70%, underscoring the need for rigorous, task-specific evaluation before deployment.
