Summary
The secret ingredient for impactful AI products is “evals”—an architecture for ongoing evaluation of quality. Without evals, you don’t know if your output is good. You don’t know when you’re done. Because outputs are non-deterministic, it’s very hard to figure out if you are creating real value for your users, and when something goes wrong, it’s really tricky to figure out why. Simply Put’s Peter van Dijck will demystify evals, and share a simple framework for planning for and building useful evals, from qualitative user research to automated evals using LLMs as a judge.
