Design representative eval sets

A small but well-curated eval suite can catch most regressions. Include common, edge, and adversarial prompts from real product usage.

Score quality with multiple metrics

  • Task success and factuality checks.
  • Format adherence and safety policy compliance.
  • Latency and token cost constraints.

Gate releases on eval outcomes

  • Block deployment on critical regression thresholds.
  • Track prompt and model changes in version control.
  • Re-run evals continuously with production feedback.
