Gideon Mendels is the Chief Executive Officer at Comet, the leading solution for managing machine learning workflows. How to Systematically Test and Evaluate Your LLMs Apps // MLOps Podcast #269 with Gideon Mendels, CEO of Comet. // Abstract When building LLM Applications, Developers need to take a hybrid approach from both ML and SW Engineering best practices. They need to define eval metrics and track their entire experimentation to see what is and is not working. They also need to define comprehensive unit tests for their particular use-case so they can confidently check if their LLM App is ready to be deployed. // Bio Gideon Mendels is the CEO and co-founder of Comet, the leading solution for managing machine learning workflows from experimentation to production. He is a computer scientist, ML researcher and entrepreneur at his core. Before Comet, Gideon co-founded GroupWize, where they trained and deployed NLP models processing billions of chats. His journey with NLP and Speech Recognition models began at Columbia University and Google where he worked on hate speech and deception detection. // MLOps Swag/Merch https://mlops-community.myshopify.com/ // Related Links Website: https://www.comet.com/site/ All the Hard Stuff with LLMs in Product Development // Phillip Carter // MLOps Podcast #170: https://youtu.be/DZgXln3v85s
