Gists makes it easy to manage multiple versions of prompts called variants. You can assign a unique name called slug for each variant. We don’t automatically create new versions of prompts for every edit, which gives you the freedom to manage variants the way you want.

​
Examples

For example, one way to manage gist variants is by naming your variants like dev and prod. You can edit dev variants without worrying that it’ll break the user experience. When you’re ready to ship it to the customers, you can:
  • assign 100% of the traffic to dev
  • rename the current prod variant to another name. e.g prod-2023-10-13
  • rename the current dev variant to prod
Another way to manage gist variants is by splitting the traffic between them, so you can A/B test performance of different prompts or LLM parameters such as temperature and topP values.

Next steps

Now you’ve created multiple variants of the gists, but how do you know which one is better? Let’s continue to learn how Gists solves this problems with test cases, evaluators, and benchmarks.
