LLMOps, eller Large Language Model Operations, is a specialized discipline within the broader field of MLOps (Machine Learning Operations), which focuses on managing, implementing, and maintaining large language models (LLMs). LLMs are powerful AI models that can generate human-quality text, translate languages, write various types of creative content, and answer questions in an informative manner. However, their complexity and resource requirements pose unique challenges in the form of operations.
For instance, a company might use LLMOps to manage the deployment and maintenance of a large language model for chatbots, allowing them to quickly and efficiently respond to customer inquiries without sacrificing accuracy or relevance. Or, a research institution might leverage LLMOps to optimize the performance of a language model for machine translation, enabling faster and more accurate translations for a diverse range of languages.
