Course Outline

Introduction and Diagnostic Foundations

  • Analysis of failure modes in LLM systems and frequent Ollama-specific challenges
  • Creating reproducible experiments and controlled environments
  • Debugging toolkit: local logs, request/response captures, and sandboxing techniques

Reproducing and Isolating Failures

  • Methods for generating minimal failing examples and seeds
  • Distinguishing stateful from stateless interactions to isolate context-related bugs
  • Managing determinism, randomness, and non-deterministic behaviour

Behavioural Evaluation and Metrics

  • Quantitative indicators: accuracy, ROUGE/BLEU variants, calibration, and perplexity proxies
  • Qualitative assessments: human-in-the-loop scoring and rubric design
  • Task-specific fidelity checks and acceptance criteria

Automated Testing and Regression

  • Unit tests for prompts and components, as well as scenario and end-to-end tests
  • Building regression suites and golden example baselines
  • CI/CD integration for Ollama model updates and automated validation gates

Observability and Monitoring

  • Structured logging, distributed traces, and correlation IDs
  • Key operational metrics: latency, token usage, error rates, and quality signals
  • Alerting systems, dashboards, and SLIs/SLOs for model-backed services

Advanced Root Cause Analysis

  • Tracing through graphed prompts, tool calls, and multi-turn flows
  • Comparative A/B diagnosis and ablation studies
  • Data provenance, dataset debugging, and resolving dataset-induced failures

Safety, Robustness, and Remediation Strategies

  • Mitigation techniques: filtering, grounding, retrieval augmentation, and prompt scaffolding
  • Rollback, canary, and phased rollout patterns for model updates
  • Post-mortems, lessons learned, and continuous improvement loops

Summary and Next Steps

Requirements

  • Extensive experience in building and deploying LLM applications
  • Proficiency with Ollama workflows and model hosting
  • Working knowledge of Python, Docker, and fundamental observability tools

Target Audience

  • AI Engineers
  • MLOps Professionals
  • QA Teams responsible for production LLM systems
