The course aims to bridge the gap between building LLM demos and deploying production-ready systems by addressing challenges around costs, latency, reliability, and evaluation. It includes hands-on code demonstrations and develops critical thinking for navigating production tradeoffs in probabilistic systems. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
