🧠 MLOps vs. LLMOps – The Difference Aspect MLOps LLMOps (or GenAIOps) Purpose Operationalize traditional ML models Operationalize Large Language Models (LLMs) and GenAI apps Model Type Predictive, classification, regression (e.g., credit scoring, fraud detection) Generative, conversational, summarization, retrieval-augmented reasoning Key Artifacts Managed Data, features, model weights, metrics Prompts, embeddings, vector stores, model adapters, RAG pipelines Lifecycle Focus

🧾 What Is a Model Card? A Model Card  is a standardized documentation artifact  that provides transparency  about an AI/ML or GenAI model — describing what it does, how it was trained, what data it uses, what assumptions were made, and what limitations or ethical risks exist. Think of it as the “nutrition label” for an AI model  — it helps business, risk, compliance, and auditors understand the model before approving or deploying it. It’s a mandatory governance artifact in m

1. Responsible & Ethical AI AI/GenAI systems must operate in a way that aligns with organizational values and ethical standards. Why:  Prevent misuse, ensure trust, align with RBI/SEBI expectations. 2.
