LLM Engineering: Building Production-Ready LLM-enabled Systems

With the advent of foundation models and generative AI, especially the recent explosion in Large Language Models (LLMs), we see our students and companies around us build a whole new type of AI-enabled systems: LLM-based systems or LLM systems in short. The most well-known example of an LLM system is the chatbot ChatGPT. Inspired by ChatGPT and its possibilities, many developers want to build their own chatbots, trained on their own set of documents, e.g. as an intelligent search engine.
