LLMOps Explained: The Operational Framework Behind Production AI
Building an AI application is only the beginning. The real challenge starts after deployment, when prompts evolve, models change, costs fluctuate, and thousands of users depend on consistent performance. Traditional software engineering has DevOps. Machine learning has MLOps. Large language model applications are giving rise to a new operational discipline: LLMOps. LLMOps isn't a single tool or framework. It's a collection of engineering practices for deploying, monitoring, evaluating, securing, and continuously improving AI systems in production. This guide explains what LLMOps is, how it differs from MLOps, and why it's becoming an essential capability for organizations building AI at scale.
