Course Outline

Introduction to LLMOps

  • Comparing LLMOps and MLOps: distinct challenges in operating LLMs
  • The LLM application lifecycle: prompt engineering, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring
  • Checklist for ensuring production readiness of GenAI applications

Prompt Management and Versioning

  • Prompt templating systems and the use of variable injection
  • Applying semantic versioning to prompts using automated regression testing
  • Prompt registries and collaborative workflows

LLM Evaluation at Scale

  • Key evaluation dimensions: accuracy, relevance, safety, and groundedness
  • Using LLMs as judges and establishing human evaluation pipelines
  • Automated evaluation frameworks including RAGAS, DeepEval, and custom evaluators
  • Incorporating quality gates into CI/CD pipelines for LLM deployments

Safety Guardrails and Content Governance

  • Implementing input and output guardrails with NeMo Guardrails and Guardrails AI
  • Detecting PII, filtering toxicity, and defining topic boundaries
  • Defending against jailbreaks and prompt injection attacks
  • Conducting red-teaming exercises to ensure LLM application safety

LLM Observability and Monitoring

  • Collecting telemetry for token usage, latency, cost, and quality metrics
  • Detecting drift in LLM outputs and embedding spaces
  • Implementing session-level tracing for multi-turn agent conversations
  • Creating dashboards and setting up alerts using LangSmith, Arize, and OpenTelemetry

AI Gateway and Model Orchestration

  • Multi-provider routing using LiteLLM and Portkey
  • Configuring fallback strategies, retry logic, and circuit breakers
  • Selecting models based on cost and implementing load balancing
  • Managing rate limits, quotas, and API key governance

Performance Optimization

  • Implementing semantic caching with vector stores and exact-match strategies
  • Enforcing structured output via constrained decoding
  • Applying batching, streaming, and concurrency patterns
  • Optimizing latency across different model providers

Governance, Compliance, and Audit

  • Establishing LLM audit trails: prompt logs, response logs, and decision provenance
  • Considering data residency and privacy requirements for LLM APIs
  • Implementing policy-as-code for LLM usage within organizations
  • Developing an internal LLM operations playbook

Requirements

  • Practical experience in building or integrating LLM-powered applications.
  • Proficiency with Python and REST APIs.
