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.

Carol M. Evenson. Far too often, companies don’t start to worry about digital security until after they experience an attack. If they’re lucky, the first attack won’t cause too much damage, but an even better situation would be if the people responsible for the attack walked away from the encounter empty-handed. The best way to ensure that ‘s what happens is to start planning for such an event now, before it’s even an issue.

Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
