Navigating LLM Deployment: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques

Self-hosted Language Models are going to power the next generation of applications in critical industries like financial services, healthcare, and defense. Self-hosting LLMs, as opposed to using API-based models, comes with its own host of challenges - as well as needing to solve business problems, engineers need to wrestle with the intricacies of model inference, deployment and infrastructure. In this talk we are going to discuss the best practices in model optimisation, serving and monitoring - with practical tips and real case-studies.

A Framework for Building Micro Metrics for LLM System Evaluation

Tuesday Nov 19 / 05:05PM PST

LLM accuracy is a challenging topic to address and is much more multi dimensional than a simple accuracy score. In this talk we’ll dive deeper into how to measure LLM related metrics, going through examples, case studies and techniques beyond just a single accuracy and score.
