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.

This may be stuff that you already know, but in the interest of helping others who may not know I’m posting it here. One issue that I’d been repeatedly running into was an apparent “failure” on the part of Heat to properly apply cloud-init configurations to deployed Ubuntu instances.

Creativity is a higher level of intelligence. We generally have a very narrow view of creativity conceding it to artists. If you look closely at your own experience, likely you will find your own special way of being creative. Whenever you are open to something new to come to the fore you are being creative. It is a state of openness where you set aside what you think you know.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. 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.
