DevTools for Language Models: Unlocking the Future of AI-Driven Applications

Explore the thriving ecosystem of tools and technologies emerging around large language models (LLMs) in this 30-minute talk by Diego Oppenheimer, presented by MLOps.community. Delve into the current state of LLM DevTools, their significance, and future prospects as the LLM landscape enters an exponential growth phase. Examine the challenges and opportunities involved in building intelligent features using LLMs, including experimentation, prompting, knowledge retrieval, and vector databases. Consider the next set of challenges faced by teams looking to scale their LLM features, such as data labeling, fine-tuning, monitoring, observability, and testing. Draw parallels with previous waves of machine learning DevTools to predict the trajectory of this rapidly maturing market and its potential impact on the broader AI landscape. Gain insights from Oppenheimer's extensive background in data, AI, and product development, including his experiences as a Partner at Factory, interim head of product at LLM startups, and former roles at DataRobot and Microsoft.
