The DSPy OSS team at Databricks and beyond is excited to present DSPy 3.0, targeted for release close to DAIS 2025. We will present what DSPy is and how it evolved over the past year. We will discuss greatly improved prompt optimization and finetuning/RL capabilities, improved productionization and observability via thorough and native integration with MLflow, and lessons from usage of DSPy in various Databricks R&D and professional services contexts.
