The course moves from model fundamentals to product-level evaluation, then to production and business concerns:
- LLM fundamentals — what an LLM is and what an LLM-powered product is.
0:15 - LLM benchmarks — how to evaluate large language models themselves.
0:30 - Product-level evaluation — building an evaluation dataset, writing test cases, and choosing evaluation methods and metrics.
0:30 - LLM as a judge — described as "fascinating but slightly controversial".
0:45 - LLM safety — hallucinations, jailbreaks, and how to protect against them.
0:45 - Evaluating AI agents — flagged as one of the more complex topics.
0:45 - After launch — production observability, monitoring, and guardrails.
0:45 - Business case — why invest in AI evaluations.
