Fueling AI Excellence: Lablab.ai’s TruEra Challenge with Google Cloud Vertex AI and TruLens

lablab.ai, an initiative by New Native, proudly announces the TruEra Challenge, slated to commence on Friday, December 1, 2023, at 6:00 PM CET. This hackathon isn’t just a competition; it’s a bold endeavor to redefine AI possibilities, powered by the convergence of critical LLM app development tools, such as Google Cloud  Vertex AI, Zilliz, and LlamaIndex, and open source  LLM app testing and evaluation framework TruLens, from TruEra.

“Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as the backbone of modern AI, propelling advancements across various industries,” highlighted Pawel Czech, Co-founder of New Native. “lablab.ai’s TruEra Challenge marks an exciting chapter in the development of LLM-based applications. At the forefront of this pursuit is TruLens, a testing and tracking tool championed by lablab.ai that can accelerate app development time while improving performance and reducing risk.”

LLM Observability is a critical part of the LLM app tech stack. TruLens plays a pivotal role in assessing the quality of LLM-based applications by scrutinizing inputs, outputs, and internal functionalities while providing critical feedback mechanisms for key qualities like groundedness, relevance, and toxicity. Additionally, its comprehensive tracking instrumentation offers insights into a model’s performance metrics and metadata across a spectrum of LLM applications.
