LLMOps

LLMOps is the work required to release and operate an LLM feature: versioned evaluation, tracing, monitoring, cost and latency control, safety gates, incident review, and rollback.

Tiny example

A prompt change passes a golden-set test, deploys to 10% of traffic, and is monitored for groundedness, p95 latency, errors, and cost. A reviewed production failure becomes a new regression case.

FDE note

Tracing is not evaluation. A perfect trace can reveal exactly how the system produced a bad answer. Read the full LLMOps lesson.
