12-Factor Agents - Principles for building reliable LLM applications (via)

I really love seeing more and more serious engineering being put into making LLMs actually work in production. They’re too cool a tool not to use or integrate into consumed software, but nobody actually wants more shitty chat bots. Making them work reliably to actually make software better requires structure and effort, and this is one cool way of thinking about it I hadn’t come across before.
