Limitations of Using Off-the-Shelf LLMs for Prompt Optimization

While it is convenient to use existing Large Language Model (LLM) APIs for prompt optimization tasks, this approach has significant drawbacks. Its success is highly contingent on the specific LLM's inference and in-context learning capabilities. If the chosen LLM is not sufficiently powerful or is poorly adapted to the task, it can introduce errors into the search process, such as generating ineffective or incorrect prompts during the expansion phase.
