This felt like a Portlandia episode IRL. Climate report from the restaurant we went to last night measures a KPI as 245,000 grams of unpurchased limes. 🤨

Everyone I know who's taking this course speaks highly of it.
we’re teaching a course for engineers and technical PMs on evals for AI products! why?. despite all the tooling out there, there’s very little *education* on how to build evals—like, what’s the actual process from vague idea to deployed product? how do you know if your system is.

This is the work. Every team we work with who finds success with AI products does some version of this.👇.
If I could only give people one tool for LLM Evals, it would be error analysis. Nothing else comes close. This is what Look At Your Data ™️ means. Links in reply
