The conversation explores technical and operational barriers that slow production adoption, including reliability, cost, governance, and security. The panelists also examine how LLMOps, AIOps, and AgentOps differ from traditional MLOps, and why new approaches are required for generative and agent-based systems. Finally, experts define success criteria for GenAI frameworks, with a focus on robust evaluation, observability, and continuous monitoring across development and staging environments. // Bio Samraj Moorjani Samraj is a software engineer working on the Agent Quality team. Previously, Samraj worked at Meta on ads/product classification research and AppLovin on MLOps. Samraj graduated with a BS+MS in Computer Science from UIUC, advised by Professor Hari Sundaram, where he worked on controllable natural language generation to produce appealing, interpretable science to combat the spread of misinformation. He also worked with Professor Wen-mei Hwu on accelerating LLM inference through extreme sparsification.
