Ax a New Way to Build Complex Workflows with LLMs // MLOps Podcast #259 with Vikram Rangnekar, Software Engineer at Stealth.

// Abstract
Ax is a new way to build complex workflows with LLMs. It's a typescript library based on research done in the Stanford DSP paper. Concepts such as prompt signatures, prompt tuning, and composable prompts help you build RAG and agent-powered ideas that have till now been hard to build and maintain. Ax is designed for production usage.

// Bio
Vikram builds open-source software. Currently working on making it easy to build with LLMs. Created Ax a typescript library that abstracts over all the complexity of LLMs, it is based on the research done in the Stanford DSP paper. Worked extensively with LLMs over the last few years to build complex workflows. Previously worked as a senior software engineer with LinkedIn on Ad Serving.
