“Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as the backbone of modern AI, propelling advancements across various industries,” highlighted Pawel Czech, Co-founder of New Native. “lablab.ai’s TruEra Challenge marks an exciting chapter in the development of LLM-based applications. At the forefront of this pursuit is TruLens, a testing and tracking tool championed by lablab.ai that can accelerate app development time while improving performance and reducing risk.”

LLM Observability is a critical part of the LLM app tech stack. TruLens plays a pivotal role in assessing the quality of LLM-based applications by scrutinizing inputs, outputs, and internal functionalities while providing critical feedback mechanisms for key qualities like groundedness, relevance, and toxicity. Additionally, its comprehensive tracking instrumentation offers insights into a model’s performance metrics and metadata across a spectrum of LLM applications.

Key Highlights of the TruEra Challenge:

  • Prize Pool: Valued at up to $73,000.
  • Technology Integration: Utilize Google Cloud Vertex AI and TruLens to craft LLM applications.
  • Community Collaboration: Connect with top talents at TruEra and collaborate in teams of 1 to 6 members.
  • Google Cloud Credits: Participants receive $30 in Google Cloud credits per team member.
  • Intellectual Nexus: Connect with contributors to the Intel Disruptor Initiative and shape AI’s trajectory.

“The TruEra Challenge is a unique hackathon that pushes its participants further than a typical hackathon where participants just make it to the prototype stage. The TruEra Challenge provides the training, tools, and support to build, iterate, and test so that teams can finish with a more effective, trusted app that has a faster path to production.  The support from leading technologists makes it a great opportunity for developers to refine and show off their skills,” said Barbara Lewis, CMO of TruEra.

The TruEra Challenge goes beyond typical competitions, providing a space for enthusiasts and experts to come together and explore, build, and iterate robust apps that can become real-world projects. It serves as a platform where participants can rapidly build and test apps that address real-world issues while participating in a community of like-minded peers.
