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.

Happiness, according to psychologists, is a state of one's mind. Happiness is a state of mind where one hunts for pastures even in a desert. You would make the time worth if you were to ask an intelligent question why feel happy at certain instances or moments and why not at other times?
