Despite what the current US president keeps saying, renewable energy is the way that the world will be powered in the future. Two of the most established technologies which already provide electricity to millions of people are solar power and wind power. However, wind power has a number of drawbacks which are often not considered, especially due to the extremely large infrastructure needed to support the blades and turbines.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
