LLM evaluations (evals) have become one of the most talked-about topics in AI engineering, but for many teams, they remain abstract or intimidating. This talk cuts through the noise and gets practical: What are LLM evals, why should you care, and how do you actually implement them? Whether you're an AI engineer shipping models, a product manager defining quality bars, or anyone working hands-on in the AI space, you'll leave with a clear understanding of why evals matter and how to get started.
Connect with developers, share your projects, and explore the future of AI together.
