Build and evaluate LLM-powered apps with LangChain and CircleCI

Generative AI has already shown its huge potential, but there are many applications that out-of-the-box large language model (LLM) solutions aren’t suitable for. These include enterprise-level applications like summarizing your own internal notes and answering questions about internal data and documents, as well as applications like running queries on your own data to equip the AI with known facts (reducing “hallucinations” and improving outcomes).

Level 1 NOC WiFi/LAN/WAN Correlation and Triage

The latest release of Network Management 23.3 from Broadcom, the solution extends assurance to cloud-based Wi-Fi architectures with global correlation to your LAN and WAN infrastructure for a complete view of network health across vendors, protocols and user experiences. Today, most NOCs still monitor Wi-Fi as if it is a wired service with no comprehension of its radio integrity or user movements. As a continuation of the "Unified NetOps" capability, v23.3 will enable any NOC to monitor wireless networks using the standard workflows for alarm management, ticketing, and triage, but with the added Level 2 NOC awareness of radio frequency metrics, noise level, interference, and wireless user demographics and movements.

Configuration Drift: How It Happens, Top Sources + How to Stop It for Good

Bad news: Configuration drift is going to happen no matter what you do. It’s very easy to miss, caused by some innocuous mistake or patch and buried in paper trails that don’t exist. By the time you’ve found which configurations have drifted, it usually means something’s already going wrong. But here’s the good news: You and your precious configurations don’t have to take it lying down.
