You Don’t Train For a Marathon in a Lab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Have you seen a marathon athlete only training in a lab? Data reactive systems like LLMs need to hit the road. We will discuss real world challenges on building evaluation set for enterprise workflow systems that will instill confidence in your builds to get it on the road, just like endurance training that requires real-world exposure to terrain, weather and unpredictability.

Lastly, will share some learnings from deploying LLM applications in production<\/p>\n\n\n\n
