Cisco AI Introduces FAPO: Pipeline-Aware Prompt Optimization With Step-Level Failure Attribution and Claude Code Orchestration

Summary

<p>Cisco Foundation AI has open-sourced FAPO (Fully Automated Prompt Optimization), a Claude Code-driven system that autonomously optimizes multi-step LLM pipelines from baseline prompts to target accuracy. FAPO evaluates a chain, attributes failures at the step level, proposes variants across prompt, parameter, and chain-structure levels, and validates each through an independent reviewer. In Cisco's evaluation, it beat GEPA on 15 of 18 model-benchmark comparisons. Here's how the optimization loop works and how to run it.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/06/20/cisco-ai-introduces-fapo-pipeline-aware-prompt-optimization-with-step-level-failure-attribution-and-claude-code-orchestration/">Cisco AI Introduces FAPO: Pipeline-Aware Prompt Optimization With Step-Level Failure Attribution and Claude Code Orchestration</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.marktechpost.com">MarkTechPost</a>.</p>
