Traditionally in our holiday-themed blogs, we look at all types of technology: from gift-bearing drones and healthy tech habits to century-old history of travel tech. Yet this year we don’t want to spread ourselves too thin, because we want to acknowledge one area of technology that impacts our lives in so many different ways.

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.
