Your best bet is probably the OpenAI discord, they have relevant channels for this. There's also /r/PromptEngineering.

> For instance "what are the advantages of putting instructions in a system prompt versus in the prompt itself?".

That sounds more like a LLM usage question (people would think of LLM research as building the models themselves), hence the OpenAI discord.

For other people looking for LLM research, there's Karpathy's one, and the EleutherAI one.

Mr Karpathy has one, you can find it below his videos.

This is an excellent discord, for starting discussions and getting help.

These are good:

* Eleuther AI

* Yannic Kilcher

* MLC Open Collab

* Open Assistant
