LAS VEGAS—Imagine if software came with a complete list of ingredients. And instead of revealing whether an app contains a digital equivalent of gluten or peanuts, this list would indicate whether it’s vulnerable to hackers. Call it a software bill of materials. Like complex dishes, modern apps, programs, and firmware heavily rely on a variety of ingredients, or pieces of software known as libraries potentially used for many purposes.

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.
