If you want to improve your product by developing new AI features built on top of large language models (LLMs), you have many options to choose from. GPT models from Open AI are often considered the go-to solution for most use cases. But the competition in this space is heating up. Other proprietary solutions such as Gemini from Google or Claude from Anthropic are catching up in terms of quality, features, and pricing. There are also many high-quality open-weight models such as Llama-3.1 from Meta or the Mistral family from Mistral AI.
This abundance of choice introduces a new challenge — choosing the best solution for your specific use case. MLflow is a great tool for tackling this issue. This MLOps tool was originally developed to handle the management, evaluation, or deployment of machine learning solutions in general. However, recent updates added a few LLM-specific features that can help you quickly compare different LLM solutions.
To understand the capabilities of MLflow when evaluating LLMs, check out this video by profiq’s Miloš Švaňa. Miloš is a PhD in Systems Engineering, ML engineer, and a profiq researcher specializing in large language models, deep learning, classical ML, and statistics.
Miloš begins by exploring the LLM deployment server, demonstrating how MLflow’s deployment capabilities can seamlessly integrate with various platforms. The video covers MLflow’s prompt engineering interface, which is designed to facilitate the customization of LLMs for specific tasks. The hands-on experiment demo provides a practical example of how these tools come together, offering a clear view of MLflow’s potential to optimize the deployment and management of large language models.
