".@DSPyOSS is so good that i'm kind of sad how many hours i spent struggling without it last year"
"Both DSPy and (especially) GEPA are currently severely under hyped in the AI context engineering world."
"We've reached that stage where every single day of the week (and every weekend), there are *several* really cool @DSPyOSS research papers, open-source applications, production use cases, or deep-dive tutorials, etc."

Engineering VP Josh Clemm on how we use knowledge graphs, MCP, and DSPy in Dash - Dropbox
Josh Clemm, VP of Engineering at Dropbox, details the technical architecture behind Dropbox Dash, a universal search tool designed to navigate proprietary work content by leveraging a robust "context engine" rather than simple federated retrieval. Dash prioritizes index-based retrieval to ensure speed and company-wide access, utilizing knowledge graphs that model cross-app relationships—such as connecting meetings to attendees and documents—via "knowledge bundles" integrated into standard indices rather than high-latency graph databases. To mitigate the context window and speed limitations of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the team employs "super tools" and specialized sub-agents. Furthermore, Clemm highlights the use of "LLM as a judge" to rigorously evaluate retrieval relevance and the adoption of DSPy for programmatic prompt optimization, which facilitates efficient prompt management and seamless model switching at scale.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "evaluate a DSPy program", "test my DSPy module", "measure performance", "create evaluation metrics", "use answer_exact_match or SemanticF1", mentions "Evaluate class", "comparing programs", "establishing baselines", or needs to systematically test and measure DSPy program quality with custom or built-in metrics.

PAPER - Unpacking Generative AI in Education: Computational Modeling of Teacher and Student Perspectives in Social Media Discourse
This paper, "Unpacking Generative AI in Education," employs computational modeling to analyze the divergent perspectives of teachers and students regarding Generative AI (GenAI) in educational settings by examining social media discourse on Reddit. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques such as sentiment analysis and topic modeling (including BERTopic, Top2Vec, and LDA), the study reveals a distinct "AI divide": educators primarily focus on challenges related to academic integrity, plagiarism detection, and the need for robust policies, often expressing negative sentiment. DSPy is being used here.
