Course Outline

Introduction to LLMOps

  • LLMOps versus MLOps: Unique challenges in operating LLMs.
  • The LLM application lifecycle: Prompt, evaluate, deploy, and monitor.
  • Production readiness checklist for Generative AI applications.

Prompt Management and Versioning

  • Prompt templating systems and variable injection techniques.
  • Semantic versioning for prompts with automated regression testing.
  • Prompt registries and collaboration workflows.

LLM Evaluation at Scale

  • Evaluation dimensions: Accuracy, relevance, safety, and groundedness.
  • LLM-as-judge metrics and human evaluation pipelines.
  • Automated evaluation frameworks: RAGAS, DeepEval, and custom evaluators.
  • Quality gates in CI/CD for LLM deployments.

Safety Guardrails and Content Governance

  • Input and output guardrails using NeMo Guardrails and Guardrails AI.
  • PII detection, toxicity filtering, and topic boundary enforcement.
  • Strategies for defending against jailbreaks and prompt injection attacks.
  • Conducting red-teaming exercises for LLM applications to ensure safety.

LLM Observability and Monitoring

  • Telmetry data: Token usage, latency, cost, and quality metrics.
  • Detecting drift in LLM outputs and embedding spaces.
  • Session-level tracing for multi-turn agent conversations.
  • Setting up dashboards and alerts with LangSmith, Arize, and OpenTelemetry.

AI Gateway and Model Orchestration

  • Multi-provider routing using LiteLLM and Portkey.
  • Fallback strategies, retry logic, and circuit breakers.
  • Cost-aware model selection and load balancing techniques.
  • Rate limiting, quota management, and API key governance.

Performance Optimization

  • Semantic caching using vector stores and exact-match strategies.
  • Enforcing structured outputs via constrained decoding.
  • Implementing batching, streaming, and concurrency patterns.
  • Optimizing latency across different model providers.

Governance, Compliance, and Audit

  • LLM audit trails: Prompt logs, response logs, and decision provenance.
  • Data residency and privacy considerations for LLM APIs.
  • Policy-as-code for regulating LLM usage within organizations.
  • Developing an internal playbook for LLM operations.

Requirements

  • Experience in building or integrating applications powered by large language models.
  • Familiarity with Python and REST APIs.
  • A fundamental understanding of prompt engineering concepts.

Audience

  • ML engineers and MLOps practitioners transitioning into LLM operations.
