MLOps podcast #204 with Patrick Barker, CTO of Kentauros AI and Farhood Etaati, MLOps/Platform Team Lead at AIMedic, MLOps at the Crossroads. // Abstract MLOps is at a crossroads. The ever-increasing excitement for LLMs' ability to solve some interesting real-world problems has made many people interested in applying these models in new applications which comes with its own challenges, that have upstarted the term "LLMLOps". But how much of those challenges are not a newer representation of what older-gen ML models had to deal with in the production, and the question arises whether developing "new" specialized tools to address these applications actually provides any substantial value for the sustainability of the field in general. Tools are coming and going at a rate that makes many technical people skeptical of adopting newer tools. What can we do as a community to alleviate these issues? Why OSS MLOps is lacking behind and how VC money is contributing to that? // Bio Farhood Etaati MLOps engineer at AIMedic.
