Taming AI Product Development Through Test-driven Prompt Engineering

It’s clear that test-driven development plays a pivotal role in prompt engineering, potentially even more so than in traditional software engineering. By embracing TDD, product builders can effectively address the unique challenges presented by AI systems and create reliable, predictable, and high-performing products that harness the power of AI.

What are some of the key differences in using 100M vs 100B parameter models in production? In this talk, Denys from Voiceflow will cover how their MLOps processes have differed between smaller transformer models and LLMs. He'll walk through how the main 4 production models Voiceflow uses differ, and the processes plus product planning behind each one. The talk will cover prompt testing, automated training, real-time inference, and more!

Despite the power of best-in-class Large Language Models and Generative AI, the use of hosted APIs for models in highly sensitive, and regulated environments is being challenged. From fine-tuning and embedding sensitive data to creating small models in edge and air-gapped environments, users in these regulated environments need production-ready ways to run and observe models. Beyond that, both the software and the models that are being deployed need to have the Authorization to Operate in every one of these environments. LeapfrogAI is an open-source, open-contribution set of tools designed to meet the challenging requirements of these environments. Come learn about what makes these environments so rigorous, the work going on in enabling Defense missions to use Generative AI safely and successfully and hear more about how LeapfrogAI enables these missions.

Creating a new LLM is a difficult and expensive process, and there are several aspects that we need to get right — (1) a broad training dataset (2) a strong base model, (3) a well-aligned instruction dataset, (4) a carefully designed moderation subsystem, and (5) cost-effective training infrastructure coupled with an efficient software stack. Together’s central thesis is that these processes can be open-sourced, and we can harness the power of community to build and improve models, in the same way great open-source software has been built for decades. In this talk, I will introduce RedPajama, an open-source effort driven by Together and Collaborators, and show how to build an LLM with the power of community.

GPU-enabled hosts are a significant driver of cloud costs for teams serving LLMs in production. Preemptible instances can provide significant savings but generally aren’t fit for highly available services. This lightning talk tells the story of how Replit switched to preemptible GKE nodes, tamed the ensuing chaos, and saved buckets of cash while improving uptime.

How do you turn a language model into a chatbot without any user interactions? LIMA is a LLaMa-based model fine-tuned on only 1,000 curated prompts and responses, which produces shockingly good responses. * No user data * No mode distillation * No RLHF What does this tell us about language model alignment? In this talk, Chunting shares what we have learned throughout the process.

Evaluating the performance of language models (LLMs) is a pressing issue for companies working with generative AI. Defining what makes a model "good" and measuring its performance are challenging due to the diverse range of LLM applications. Existing evaluation methods, including benchmarks and user preference comparisons, have limitations in scalability and objectivity. The future of LLM evaluation lies in scaling testing with machine learning systems, such as reward models that capture user preferences, and simulating user sessions to generate comprehensive test cases. These approaches will help developers select models, create effective prompts, ensure compliance, and enhance LLM quality.
