A comprehensive exploration of real-world lessons in LLM evaluation and quality assurance, examining how industry leaders tackle the challenges of assessing language models in production. Through diverse case studies, the post covers the transition from traditional ML evaluation, establishing clear metrics, combining automated and human evaluation strategies, and implementing continuous improvement cycles to ensure reliable LLM applications at scale.
Practical lessons on prompt engineering in production settings, drawn from real LLMOps case studies. It covers key aspects like designing structured prompts (demonstrated by Canva's incident review system), implementing iterative refinement processes (shown by Fiddler's documentation chatbot), optimizing prompts for scale and efficiency (exemplified by Assembled's test generation system), and building robust management infrastructure (as seen in Weights & Biases' versioning setup). Throughout these examples, the focus remains on systematic improvement through testing, human feedback, and error analysis, while balancing performance with operational costs and complexity.

As organizations rush to adopt generative AI, several major tech companies have proposed maturity models to guide this journey. While these frameworks offer useful vocabulary for discussing organizational progress, they should be viewed as descriptive rather than prescriptive guides. Rather than rigidly following these models, organizations are better served by focusing on solving real problems while maintaining strong engineering practices, building on proven DevOps and MLOps principles while adapting to the unique challenges of GenAI implementation.
