AI Qadam #4 · LLM Engineering in Production
Practitioner stories from teams running LLM systems in production — eval pipelines, prompt management, regression catches, and on-call playbooks for non-deterministic models.
Tokens, components, patterns, and screen mockups for AI Qadam product surfaces — the portal, Build, chapter sites, and any digital surface a chapter ships. Pillar 2 of the guidelines.
What's in this pillar
Spacing scale and radius — the two primitives only UI uses.
02Buttons, inputs, badges, avatars, controls, tooltip, skeleton.
03EventCard, SpeakerCard, leaderboard, badges, stats, feed, empty.
04Country homepage, event detail, user profile — full layouts.
05Header, breadcrumbs, tabs, pagination.
01 — Foundation
Colour and typography live in Brand — they apply everywhere, not just to digital. Below: the two foundation primitives that only matter inside a UI.
02 — Primitives
The building blocks. Each shown in default, hover, and disabled where relevant. Hover them in the preview to see live states.
03 — AI Qadam-specific
Compositions of primitives. These are the components that carry the product. Every other surface assembles from these.
Practitioner stories from teams running LLM systems in production — eval pipelines, prompt management, regression catches, and on-call playbooks for non-deterministic models.
Eight engineers, eight production disasters. From silent embedding drift to a $40k OpenAI bill from a single retry loop. No slides allowed.
Monthly online deep-read. This month: revisit the original Faiss paper and discuss what production vector DBs actually changed.
Opening event in Kazakhstan. CV in the wild — from satellite imagery for agriculture to real-time defect detection in factories.

04 — Surfaces
Three full-page surfaces showing the system at work. Each is a faithful preview of the production layout — the homepage, the event detail, and a member profile.
Next event · 8 days away
The fourth AI Qadam Tashkent meetup. Four practitioners share how they actually run LLM systems — eval pipelines, prompt regressions, on-call playbooks for stochastic models.
Four practitioners on running LLM systems in production.
Monthly online deep-read. Faiss + what production vector DBs changed.
Weekend hack. Build a working RAG product for a real Central Asian SME.
A community of AI engineers, ML practitioners, and tech builders across Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. We meet offline, share what's actually working, and avoid the conference fluff. Built by practitioners, for practitioners.
Show up. Bring questions. Submit a talk — we run an open CFP for every meetup. Or co-host one in your city. We're community-owned, no corporate sponsorship strings, no "thought leader" panels.
Four talks, one panel, two hours of mingling. We focus this meetup on the part nobody writes a blog post about: what happens after the demo works.
Eval pipelines that actually catch regressions. Prompt versioning that survives a team of more than two. On-call for stochastic systems. The cost-vs-quality knife-edge of switching providers.
