LLM Testing and Evaluation: Building Confidence in AI Applications

Introduction: LLM applications are notoriously hard to test. Outputs are non-deterministic, “correct” is often subjective, and traditional unit tests don’t apply. Yet shipping untested LLM features is risky—prompt changes can break functionality, model updates can degrade quality, and edge cases can embarrass your product. This guide covers practical testing strategies: building evaluation datasets, implementing automated […]

LLM Inference Optimization: KV Cache, Quantization, and Speculative Decoding (Part 2 of 2)

Introduction: LLM inference optimization is the art of making models respond faster while using fewer resources. As LLMs grow larger and usage scales, the difference between naive and optimized inference can mean 10x cost reduction and sub-second latencies instead of multi-second waits. This guide covers the techniques that matter most: KV cache optimization to avoid […]
