🏉Prompts

A prompt is the value passed into the Language Model. This value can either be a string (for LLMs) or a list of messages (for Chat Models).

The Prompts can be understood as the init input of the models or the basic configs of the models.

PromptTemplate

PromptTemplates are responsible for constructing a prompt value. These PromptTemplates can do things like formatting, example selection, and more. At a high level, these are basically objects that expose a format_prompt method for constructing a prompt. Under the hood, ANYTHING can happen.
