“ Success Covers a Multitude of Blunders ”. That was a famous quote from George Bernard Shaw, and it has always stuck with me throughout my career as a leader and executive.

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.

The next minute you are wondering how you could possibly do any more than you already are because your company is so important to your calling in life.
