Key points

  • result.display() shows a summary: the best prompt found and its score, directly comparable against the baseline
  • The full optimization results (every candidate prompt + score, not just the winner) are also available in the Opik dashboard
  • The dashboard adds visibility into the optimization trajectory, not just the final endpoint
  • Everything in this workflow can run 100% locally with any LLM — Opik is fully open-source, not tied to one provider
  • The payoff: a prompt improved against a measurable, dataset-grounded score, not one person's subjective sense of 'looks better'
