​You've been intending to add a proper evaluation system to your product for months. Swing by our office and get it done. You'll get expert instruction, workshop time, and in-person support from Weights & Biases engineers. Enter with your own production app, and leave with the ability to develop it faster than ever before. Plus, make your system more reliable, compare models in real-world use, and set yourself up for easy fine-tuning later.

​This is for founders, CTOs, and working engineers who have a production application and want to add observability & evaluations. You'll need a production application and coding ability to participate.

​Laptops are required. Technical experience required. Bring your own Python or TypeScript application.

🗓️ Monday, January 13th
📍 Seattle, WA

​Building LLM-based applications is exciting, but keeping them reliably performant in production is a challenge—even for the best teams. How do you track user interactions? Diagnose issues? Prevent regressions when prompts or models change? At Weights & Biases, we’ve worked with hundreds of companies to tackle questions like these.

Join us for this exclusive workshop, where we’ll guide you through building and evaluating an AI application using a proven, future-proof workflow, learning how to:

  • Log and analyze system behavior.

  • Collect and leverage user feedback.

  • Design evaluations to identify and resolve issues.

  • Confidently fine-tune and optimize performance.

No prior experience with evaluations? No problem. Just bring your laptop, and leave with practical skills to future-proof your AI applications.
