The role of data analysts is evolving, not disappearing. With generative AI transforming the industry, many wonder if their analytical skills will soon become obsolete. But how is the relationship between human expertise and AI tools really changing? While AI excels at coding, debugging, and automating repetitive tasks, it struggles with understanding complex business problems and domain-specific challenges. What skills should today's data professionals focus on to remain relevant? How can you leverage AI as a partner rather than viewing it as a replacement? The balance between technical expertise and business acumen has never been more critical in navigating this changing landscape.

Quasiment toutes les roadmaps Gen AI incluent désormais le déploiement at scale d'assistants experts basés sur des approches RAG. Souvent, la direction prise par les équipes techniques est de considérer chaque assistant comme un projet à part entière, sans suffisamment inclure leur développement et leur maintenance dans un cadre LLMOps bien défini — or c'est ici que le principal obstacle à l'industrialisation d'applications Gen AI se situe, et non sur les capacités des modèles LLM.

Parmi ce cadre, les tests sont indispensables : Context Precision, Context Recall, Faithfulness etc. Les équipes d'Eurazeo et d'Eulidia ont donc mis en place l'automatisation des tests effectués sur les workflows Gen AI, via une intégration de la bibliothèque RAGAS au sein des services Cortex de Snowflake. Cela a permis de poser les bases essentielles pour le déploiement du RAG-as-a-Service, application permettant de créer automatiquement des RAG à destination des équipes internes, tout en garantissant leur performance et leur pertinence.

Generative AI enables powerful new capabilities, but they come with some serious limitations that you'll have to tackle to ship a reliable application or agent. Luckily, experts in the field have compiled a library of 32 tried-and-true design patterns to address the challenges you're likely to encounter when building applications using LLMs, such as hallucinations, nondeterministic responses, and knowledge cutoffs. This book codifies research and real-world experience into advice you can incorporate into your projects. Each pattern describes a problem, shows a proven way to solve it with a fully coded example, and discusses trade-offs. Design around the limitations of LLMs Ensure that generated content follows a specific style, tone, or format Maximize creativity while balancing different types of risk Build agents that plan, self-correct, take action, and collaborate with other agents Compose patterns into agentic applications for a variety of use cases
