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.

Along the way, I’ll provide some context around why this sort of approach might be interesting/useful to you. In this post, I’ll assume you are already somewhat familiar with KVM and Libvirt; if you need an introduction to either of those, you might find this post , this post , and this post (all from my site) helpful.

Here are the details of what’s changed here. The most notable difference is a change in the site’s feed URL. Whereas the feed used to be available at [link] , changes in how Jekyll 3.0 handles permalinks mean that URL is no longer sustainable.

(The 2016 Big Data Landscape).” Focusing on the technology, he seems to be saying that expectations for big data’s game changing disruption haven’t been met but that what we are seeing is maturation of the field brought about partly by steady improvements in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to help manage and make sense of big data.
