Guide: How to build an eval set you can maintain
tokenbender · x · 2026-08-19
The author recommends an article on building maintainable evaluation sets for AI systems. Addressing the common question "I have traces, how do I set up evals?", the article guides readers through choosing the right metrics. It categorizes metrics into three types: goal metrics, guardrails, and operational metrics. A robust setup uses a mix of these, while minimizing the total number of metrics to avoid excessive complexity and cost from additional evaluators.
