LLM Evaluation and Observability with Aparna Dhinakaran

Large Language Models have taken the world by storm. But what are the real use cases? What are the challenges in productionizing them? In this event, you will hear from practitioners about how they are dealing with things such as cost optimization, latency requirements, trust of output, and debugging. You will also get the opportunity to join workshops that will teach you how to set up your use cases and skip over all the headaches. Join the AI in Production Conference on February 15 and 22 here: https://home.mlops.community/home/events/ai-in-production-2024-02-15 ________________________________________________________________________________________

MLOps podcast #210 with Aparna Dhinakaran, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Arize AI, LLM Evaluation with Arize AI's Aparna Dhinakaran. // Abstract Dive into the complexities of Language Model (LLM) evaluation, the role of the Phoenix evaluations library, and the importance of highly customized evaluations in software application. The discourse delves into the nuances of fine-tuning in AI, the debate between the use of open-source versus private models, and the urgency of getting models into production for early identification of bottlenecks. Then examine the relevance of retrieved information, output legitimacy, and the operational advantages of Phoenix in supporting LLM evaluations. // Bio Aparna Dhinakaran is the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Arize AI, a pioneer and early leader in AI observability and LLM evaluation.
