Automatic Prompt Optimization for Multimodal Vision Agents: A Self-Driving Car Example

Optimizing Multimodal Brokers

Multimodal AI brokers, these that may course of textual content and pictures (or different media), are quickly coming into real-world domains like autonomous driving, healthcare, and robotics. In these settings, we now have historically used imaginative and prescient fashions like CNNs; within the post-GPT period, we are able to use imaginative and prescient and multimodal language fashions that leverage human directions within the type of prompts, fairly than task-oriented, extremely particular imaginative and prescient fashions.

Nonetheless, making certain good outcomes from the fashions requires efficient directions, or, extra generally, immediate engineering. Current immediate engineering strategies rely closely on trial and error, and that is typically exacerbated by the complexity and better price of tokens when working throughout non-text modalities reminiscent of photos. Automated immediate optimization is a latest development within the subject that systematically tunes prompts to provide extra correct, constant outputs.

For instance, a self-driving automobile notion system would possibly use a vision-language mannequin to reply questions on street photos. A poorly phrased immediate can result in misunderstandings or errors with critical penalties. As an alternative of fine-tuning and reinforcement studying, we are able to use one other multimodal mannequin with reasoning capabilities to study and adapt its prompts.

Though these automated strategies will be utilized to text-based brokers, they’re typically not properly documented for extra advanced, real-world purposes past a fundamental toy dataset, reminiscent of handwriting or picture classification. To finest reveal how these ideas work in a extra advanced, dynamic, and data-intensive setting, we are going to stroll by way of an instance utilizing a self-driving automobile agent.

What Is Agent Optimization?

Agent optimization is a part of automated immediate engineering, but it surely entails working with varied components of the agent, reminiscent of multi-prompts, instrument calling, RAG, agent structure, and varied modalities. There are a selection of analysis initiatives and libraries, reminiscent of GEPA; nevertheless, many of those instruments don’t present end-to-end assist for tracing, evaluating, and managing datasets, reminiscent of photos.

For this walk-through, we shall be utilizing the Opik Agent Optimizer SDK (opik-optimizer), which is an open-sourced agent optimization toolkit that automates this course of utilizing LLMs internally, together with optimization algorithms like GEPA and quite a lot of their very own, reminiscent of HRPO, for varied use circumstances, so you possibly can iteratively enhance prompts with out handbook trial-and-error.

How Can LLMs Optimize Prompts?

Basically, an LLM can “act as” a immediate engineer and rewrite a given immediate. We begin by taking the normal strategy, as a immediate engineer would with trial and error, and ask a small agent to assessment its work throughout just a few examples, repair its errors, and create a brand new immediate.

Meta Prompting is a traditional instance of utilizing chain-of-thought reasoning (CoT), reminiscent of “clarify the explanation why you gave me this immediate”, throughout its new immediate era course of, and we maintain iterating on this throughout a number of rounds of immediate era. Beneath is an instance of an LLM-based meta-prompting optimizer adjusting the immediate and producing new candidates.

Within the toolkit, there’s a meta-prompt-based optimizer referred to as metaprompter, and we are able to reveal how the optimization works:

1. It begins with an preliminary ChatPrompt, an OpenAI-style chat immediate object with system and consumer prompts,
2. a dataset (of enter and reply examples),
3. and a metric (reward sign) to optimize towards, which will be an LLMaaJ (LLM-as-a-judge) and even easier heuristic metrics, reminiscent of equal comparability of anticipated outputs within the dataset to outputs from the mannequin.

Opik then makes use of varied algorithms, together with LLMs, to iteratively mutate the immediate and consider efficiency, routinely monitoring outcomes. Basically performing as our personal very machine-driven immediate engineer!

Getting Began

On this walkthrough, we need to use a small dataset of self-driving automobile dashcam photos and tune the prompts utilizing automated immediate optimization with a multi-modal agent that may detect hazards.

We have to arrange our surroundings and set up the toolkit to get going. First, you have to an open-source Opik occasion, both within the cloud or domestically, to log traces, handle datasets, and retailer optimization outcomes. You’ll be able to go to the repository and run the Docker begin command to run the Opik platform or arrange a free account on their web site.

As soon as arrange, you’ll want Python (3.10 or greater) and some libraries. First, set up the opik-optimizer package deal; it’ll additionally set up the opik core package deal, which handles datasets and analysis.

Set up and configure utilizing uv (advisable):

# set up with venv and py model
uv venv .venv --python 3.11

# set up optimizer package deal
uv pip set up opik-optimizer

# post-install configure SDK
opik configure

Or alternatively, set up and configure utilizing pip:

# Setup venv
python -m venv .venv

# load venv
supply .venv/bin/activate

# set up optimizer package deal
pip set up opik-optimizer

# post-install configure SDK
opik configure

You’ll additionally want API keys for any LLM fashions you propose to make use of. The SDK makes use of LiteLLM, so you possibly can combine suppliers, see right here for a full listing of fashions, and skim their docs for different integrations like ollama and vLLM if you wish to run fashions domestically.

In our instance, we shall be utilizing OpenAI fashions, so you want to set your keys in your atmosphere. You modify this step as wanted for loading the API keys to your mannequin:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-…"

Now that we now have our Opik atmosphere arrange and our keys configured to entry LLM fashions for optimization and analysis, we are able to get to work on our datasets to tune our agent.

Working with Datasets To Tune the Agent

Earlier than we are able to begin with prompts and fashions, we’d like a dataset. To tune an AI agent (and even simply to optimize a easy immediate), we’d like examples that function our “preferences” for the outcomes we need to obtain. You’d usually have a “golden” dataset, which, to your AI agent, would come with instance inputs and output pairs that you just keep because the prime examples and consider your agent towards.

For this instance mission, we are going to use an off-the-shelf dataset for self-driving vehicles that’s already arrange as a demo dataset within the optimizer SDK. The dataset comprises dashcam photos and human-labeled hazards. Our purpose is to make use of a really fundamental immediate and have the optimizer “uncover” the optimum immediate by reviewing the pictures and the check outputs it’ll run.

The dataset, DHPR (Driving Hazard Prediction and Reasoning), is on the market on Hugging Face and is already mapped within the SDK because the driving_hazard dataset (this dataset is launched underneath BSD 3-Clause license). The inner mapping within the SDK handles Hugging Face conversions, picture resizing, and compression, together with PNG-to-JPEG conversions and conversions to an Opik-compatible dataset. The SDK consists of helper utilities if you happen to want to use your individual multimodal dataset.

The DHPR dataset features a few fields that we are going to use to floor our agent’s habits towards human preferences throughout our optimization course of. Here’s a breakdown of what’s within the dataset:

• query, which they requested the human annotator, “Based mostly on my dashcam picture, what’s the potential hazard?”
• hazard, which is the response from the human labeling
• bounding_box that has the hazard marked and will be overlaid on the picture
• plausible_speed is the annotator’s guestimate of the automobile’s velocity from the predefined set [10, 30, 50+].
• image_source metadata on the place the supply photos had been recorded.

Now, let’s begin with a brand new Python file, optimize_multimodal.py, and begin with our dataset to coach and validate our optimization course of with:

from opik_optimizer.datasets import driving_hazard
dataset = driving_hazard(rely=20)
validation_dataset = driving_hazard(rely=5)

This code, when executed, will make sure the Hugging Face dataset is downloaded and added to your Opik platform UI as a dataset we are able to optimize or check with. We’ll then go the variables dataset and validation_dataset to the optimization steps within the code afterward. You’ll observe we’re setting the rely values to low numbers, 20 and 5, to load a small pattern as wanted to keep away from processing your complete dataset for our walk-through, which might be resource-intensive.

Once you run a full optimization course of in a dwell atmosphere, you must intention to make use of as a lot of the dataset as attainable. It’s good observe to begin small and scale up, as diagnosing long-running optimizations will be problematic and resource-intensive.

We additionally configured the optionally available validation_dataset, which is used to check our optimization initially and finish on a hold-out set to make sure the recorded enchancment is validated on unseen information. Out of the field, the optimizers’ pre-configured datasets all include pre-set splits, which you’ll be able to entry from the cut up argument. See examples as follows:

# instance a) driving_hazard pre-configured splits
from opik_optimizer.datasets import driving_hazard
trainset = driving_hazard(cut up=practice)
valset = driving_hazard(cut up=validation)
testset = driving_hazard(cut up=check)

# instance b) gsm84k math dataset pre-configured splits
from opik_optimizer.datasets import gsm8k
trainset = gsm8k(cut up=practice)
valset = gsm8k(cut up=validation)
testset = gsm8k(cut up=check)

The splits additionally guarantee there’s no overlapping information, because the dataset is shuffled within the right order and cut up into 3 components. We keep away from utilizing these splits to keep away from having to make use of very giant datasets and runs after we are getting began.

Let’s go forward and run our code optimize_multimodal.py with simply the driving hazard dataset. The dataset shall be loaded into Opik and will be seen in our dashboard (determine 4 under) underneath “driving_hazard_train_20”.

With our dataset loaded in Opik we are able to additionally load the dataset within the Opik playground, which is a pleasant and straightforward option to see how varied prompts would behave and check them towards a easy immediate reminiscent of “Determine the hazards on this picture.”

As you possibly can see from the instance (determine 4 above), we are able to use the playground to check prompts for our agent fairly rapidly. That is most likely the same old course of we might use for handbook immediate engineering: adjusting the immediate in a playground-like atmosphere and simulating how varied adjustments to the immediate would have an effect on the mannequin’s outputs.

For some situations, this might be enough with some automated scoring and utilizing instinct to regulate prompts, and you’ll see how bringing the present immediate optimization course of right into a extra visible and systematic course of, how delicate adjustments can simply be examined towards our golden dataset (our pattern of 20 for now)

Defining Analysis Metrics To Optimize With

We’ll proceed to outline our analysis metrics designed to let the optimizer know what adjustments are working and which aren’t. We want a option to sign the optimizer about what’s working and what’s failing. For this, we are going to use an analysis metric because the “reward”; it is going to be a easy rating that the optimizer makes use of to determine which immediate adjustments to make.

These analysis metrics will be easy (e.g., Equals) or extra advanced (e.g., LLM-as-a-judge). Since Opik is a totally open-source analysis suite, you should utilize numerous varied metrics, which you’ll be able to discover right here to seek out out extra.

Logically, you’d suppose that after we examine the dataset floor fact (a) to the mannequin output (b), we might do a easy equals comparability metric like is (a == b), which is able to return a boolean true or false. Utilizing a direct comparability metric will be dangerous to the optimizer, because it makes the method a lot more durable and should not yield the precise reply proper from the beginning (or all through the optimization course of).

One of many human-annotated examples from the dataset we are attempting to get the optimizer to match, you possibly can see how getting the LLM to create precisely the identical output blindly might be difficult:

Entity #1 brakes his automobile in entrance of Entity #2. Seeing that Entity #2 additionally pulled his brakes. At a velocity of 45 km/h, I am unable to cease my automobile in time and hit Entity #2.

To assist the hill-climbing wanted for the optimizer, we are going to use a comparability metric that gives an approximation rating as a proportion on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0. For this state of affairs, we are going to use the Levenshtein ratio, a easy math-based measure of how intently the characters and phrases within the output match these within the floor fact dataset. With our closeness to instance metric, LR (Levenshtein ratio) a physique of textual content with just a few characters off might yield a rating for instance of 98% (0.98), as they’re very comparable (determine 6 under).

In our Python script, we outline this practice metric as a operate alongside the enter and output variables from our dataset. In observe we are going to outline the mapping between the dataset hazard and the output llm_output, in addition to the scoring operate to be handed to the optimizer. There are extra metric examples within the documentation, however for now, we are going to use the next setup in our code after the dataset creation:

from opik.analysis.metrics import LevenshteinRatio
from opik.analysis.metrics.score_result import ScoreResult

def levenshtein_ratio(
    dataset_item: dict[str, Any],
    llm_output: str
) -> ScoreResult:
    metric = LevenshteinRatio()
    metric_score = metric.rating(
        reference=dataset_item["hazard"], output=llm_output
    )
    return ScoreResult(
        worth=metric_score.worth,
        title=metric_score.title,
        purpose=f"Levenshtein ratio between `{dataset_item['hazard']}` and `{llm_output}` is `{metric_score.worth}`.",
    )

Setting Up Our Base Agent & Immediate

Right here we’re configuring the agent’s start line. On this case, we assume we have already got an agent and a handwritten immediate. In case you had been optimizing your individual agent, you’d change these placeholders. We begin by importing the ChatPrompt class, which permits us to configure the agent as a easy chat immediate. The optimizer SDK handles inputs through the ChatPrompt, and you’ll lengthen this with instrument/operate calling and extra multi-prompt/agent situations, additionally to your personal use circumstances.

from opik_optimizer import ChatPrompt

# Outline the immediate to optimize
system_prompt = """You're an skilled driving security assistant
specialised in hazard detection. Your job is to investigate dashcam
photos and establish potential hazards {that a} driver ought to pay attention to.

For every picture:
1. Fastidiously study the visible scene
2. Determine any potential hazards (pedestrians, automobiles,
street situations, obstacles, and so forth.)
3. Assess the urgency and severity of every hazard
4. Present a transparent, particular description of the hazard

Be exact and actionable in your hazard descriptions.
Give attention to safety-critical data."""

# Map into an OpenAI-style chat immediate object
immediate = ChatPrompt(
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": system_prompt},
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "{question}"},
                {
                    "type": "image_url",
                    "image_url": {
                        "url": "{image}",
                    },
                },
            ],
        },
    ],
)

In our instance, we now have a system immediate and a consumer immediate, primarily based on the query {query}and the picture {picture} from the dataset we created earlier. We’re going to attempt to optimize the system immediate in order that the enter adjustments primarily based on every picture (as we noticed within the playground earlier). The fields within the parentheses, like {data_field}, are columns in our dataset that the SDK will routinely map and likewise convert for issues like multi-modal photos.

Loading and Wiring the Optimizers

The toolkit comes with a spread of optimizers, from easy meta-prompting, which makes use of chain-of-thought reasoning to replace prompts, to GEPA and extra superior reflective optimizers. On the time of this walk-through, the hierarchical reflective optimizer (HRPO) is the one we are going to use for instance functions, because it’s suited to advanced and ambiguous duties.

The HRPO optimization algorithm (determine 7 under) makes use of hierarchical root trigger evaluation to establish and tackle particular failure modes in your prompts. It analyzes analysis outcomes, identifies patterns in failures, and generates focused enhancements to systematically tackle every failure mode.

Up to now in our mission, we now have arrange the bottom dataset, analysis metric, and immediate for our agent, however haven’t wired this as much as any optimizers. Let’s go forward and wire in HRPO into our mission. We have to load our mannequin and configure any parameters, such because the mannequin we need to use to run the optimizer on:

from opik_optimizer import HRPO

# Setup optimizer and configuration parameters
optimizer = HRPO(
  mannequin="openai/gpt-5.2."
  model_parameters={"temperature": 1}
}

There are extra parameters we are able to set, such because the variety of threads for multi-threading or the mannequin parameters handed on to the LLM calls, as we reveal by setting our temperatureworth.

It’s Time, Working The Optimizer

Now we now have every little thing we’d like, together with our beginning agent, dataset, metric, and the optimizer. To execute the optimizer, we have to name the optimizer’s optimize_prompt operate and go all elements, together with any extra parameters. So actually, at this stage, the optimizer and the optimize_prompt() operate, which when executed, will run the optimizer we configured (optimizer).

# Execute optimizer
optimization_result = optimizer.optimize_prompt(
  immediate=immediate, # our ChatPrompt
  dataset=dataset, # our Opik dataset
  validation_dataset=validation_dataset, # optionally available, hold-out check
  metric=levenshtein_ratio, # our customized metric
  max_trials=10, # optionally available, variety of runs
)

# Output and show outcomes
optimization_result.show()

You’ll discover some extra arguments we handed; the max_trials argument limits the variety of trials (optimization loops) the optimizer will run earlier than stopping. It’s best to begin with a low quantity, as some datasets and optimizer loops will be token-heavy, particularly with image-based runs, which may result in very lengthy runs and be time and cost-intensive. As soon as we’re pleased with our setup, we are able to at all times come again and scale this up.

Let’s run our full script now and see the optimizer in motion. It’s finest to execute this in your terminal, however this also needs to work nice in a pocket book reminiscent of Jupyter Notebooks:

The optimizer will run by way of 10 trials (optimization loops). On every loop, it’ll generate a quantity (ok) of failures to verify, check, and develop new prompts for. At every trial (loop), the brand new candidate prompts are examined and evaluated, and one other trial begins. After a short time, we should always attain the tip of our optimization loop; in our case, this occurs after 10 full trials, which mustn’t take greater than a minute to execute.

Congratulations, we optimized our multi-modal agent, and we are able to now take the brand new system immediate and apply it to the identical mannequin in manufacturing with improved accuracy. In a manufacturing state of affairs, you’d copy this into our codebase. To research our optimization run, we are able to see that the terminal and dashboard ought to present the brand new outcomes:

Based mostly on the outcomes, we are able to see that we now have gone from a baseline rating of 15% to 39% after 10 trials, a whoping 152% enchancment with a brand new immediate in underneath a minute. These outcomes are primarily based on our comparability metric, which the optimizer used as its sign: a comparability of the output vs. our anticipated output in our dataset.

Digging into our outcomes, just a few key issues to notice:

• Throughout the trial runs the rating shoots up in a short time, then slowly normalizes. It’s best to enhance the variety of trials, and we should always see whether or not it wants extra to find out the following set of immediate enhancements.
• The rating may even be extra “unstable” and overfit with low samples of 20 and 5 for validation, so we needed to maintain our check small; randomness will influence our scores massively. Once you re-run, attempt utilizing the total dataset or a bigger pattern (e.g., rely=50) and see how the scores are extra reasonable.

General, as we scale this up, we have to give the optimizer extra information and extra time (sign) to “hill climb,” which may take a number of rounds.

On the finish of our optimization, our new and improved system immediate has now acknowledged that it must label varied interactions and that the output model must match. Right here is our closing improved immediate after 10 trials:

You're an skilled driving incident analyst specialised in collision-causal description.

Your job is to investigate dashcam photos and write the more than likely collision-oriented causal narrative that matches reference-style solutions.

For every picture:
1. Determine the first interacting individuals and label them explicitly as "Entity #1", "Entity #2", and so forth. (e.g., car, pedestrian, bicycle owner, impediment).
2. Describe the one most salient accident interplay as an specific causal chain utilizing entity labels: "Entity #X [action/failure] → [immediate consequence/path conflict] → [impact]".
3. Finish with a transparent influence final result that MUST (a) use specific collision language AND (b) title the entities concerned (e.g., "Entity #2 rear-ends Entity #1", "Entity #1 side-impacts Entity #2",
"Entity #1 strikes Entity #2").

Output necessities (vital):
- Produce ONE quick, direct causal assertion (1–2 sentences).
- The assertion MUST embody: (i) not less than two entities by label, (ii) a concrete motion/failure-to-yield/encroachment, and (iii) an specific collision final result naming the entities. If any of those
are lacking, the reply is invalid.
- Do NOT output a guidelines, a number of hazards, severity/urgency rankings, or basic driving recommendation.
- Keep away from basic threat dialogue (visibility, congestion, pedestrians) except it straight helps the one causal chain culminating within the collision/influence.
- Give attention to the precise causal development culminating within the influence (even when partially inferred from context); don't describe a number of attainable crashes-commit to the one more than likely one.

You’ll be able to seize the total closing code for the instance finish to finish as follows:

Going Additional and Widespread Pitfalls

Now you’re accomplished together with your first optimization run. There are some extra suggestions when working with optimizers, and particularly when working with multi-modal brokers, to enter extra superior situations, in addition to avoiding some frequent anti-patterns:

• Mannequin Prices and Selection: Multimodal prompts ship bigger payloads. Monitor token utilization within the Opik dashboard. If price is a matter, use a smaller imaginative and prescient mannequin. Working these optimizers by way of a number of loops can get fairly costly. On the time of publication on GPT 5.2, this instance price us about $0.15 USD. Monitor this as you run examples to see how the optimizer is behaving and catch any points earlier than you scale out.
• Mannequin Choice and Imaginative and prescient Assist: Double-check that your chosen mannequin helps photos. Some very latest mannequin releases will not be mapped but, so that you might need points. Preserve your Python packages up to date.
• Dataset Picture Dimension and Format: Think about using JPEGs and lower-resolution photos, that are extra environment friendly over large-resolution PNGs, which will be extra token-hungry on account of their measurement. Check how the mannequin behaves through direct API calls, the playground, and small trial runs earlier than scaling out. Within the demo we ran, the dataset photos had been routinely transformed by the SDK to JPEG (60% high quality) and a max peak/width of 512 pixels, sample you’re welcomed to observe.
• Dataset Break up: When you have many examples, cut up into coaching/validation. Use a subset (n_samples) throughout optimization to discover a higher immediate, and reserve unseen information to verify the development generalizes. This prevents overfitting the immediate to a couple objects.
• Analysis Metric Design: For Hierarchical Reflective optimizer, return a ScoreResult with a purpose for every instance. These causes drive its root-cause evaluation. Poor or lacking causes could make the optimizer much less efficient. Different optimizers behave in another way, so figuring out that evaluations are vital to success is vital, you can even see if LLM-as-a-judge is a viable analysis metric for extra advanced senarios.
• Iteration and Logging: The instance script routinely logs every trial’s prompts and scores. Examine these to grasp how the immediate modified. If outcomes stagnate, attempt growing max_trials or utilizing a special optimizer algorithm. You too can chain optimizers: take the output immediate from one optimizer and feed it into one other. This can be a good option to mix a number of approaches and ensemble optimizers to realize greater mixed effectivity.
• Mix with Different Strategies: We are able to additionally mix steps and information into the optimizer utilizing bounding containers, including extra information by way of purpose-built visible processing fashions like Meta’s SAM 3 to annotate our information and supply extra metadata. In observe, our enter dataset might have picture and image_annotated, which can be utilized as enter to the optimizer.

Takeaways and Future Outlook of Optimizers

Thanks for following together with this. As a part of this walk-through, we explored:

1. Getting began with open-source agent & immediate optimization
2. Making a course of to optimize a multi-modal vision-based agent
3. Evaluating with image-based datasets within the context of LLMs

Shifting ahead, automating immediate design is turning into more and more vital as vision-capable LLMs advance. Thoughtfully optimized prompts can considerably enhance mannequin efficiency on advanced multimodal duties. Optimizers present how we are able to harness LLMs themselves to refine directions, turning a protracted, tedious, and really handbook course of into a scientific search.

Trying forward, we are able to begin to see new methods of working through which automated prompts and agent-optimization instruments change outdated prompt-engineering strategies and totally leverage every mannequin’s personal understanding.
