However, recent research shows that this may not be enough.

Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions

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.
