 ons from AI builders looking for feedback and diverse perspectives our a

  Presenters&#13\;\n&#13\;\nBeyond the Demo: Building Reliable AI with LL
 M Evaluations&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSpeaker: Randy Olson\, Co-Founder and CTO o
 f Goodeye Labs&#13\;\n&#13\;\nRandy has a PhD in Computer Science and 15
 + years of experience across software engineering\, ML\, and AI product 
 development. His work has been featured in the New York Times\, Wired\, 
 and FiveThirtyEight\, and he created the widely-used open source tool TP
 OT.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nLLM evaluations (evals) have become one of the most t
 alked-about topics in AI engineering\, but for many teams\, they remain 
 abstract or intimidating. This talk cuts through the noise and gets prac
 tical: What are LLM evals\, why should you care\, and how do you actuall
 y implement them? Whether you're an AI engineer shipping models\, a prod
 uct 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.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nGet involved:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nPresent
