hugobowne · x · 2026-09-04
In Hugo Browne's thread distilling Hamel Husain's advice on AI evals (point 9), labels should teach the agent what to surface next: the system can find higher-value examples, so you annotate faster and learn more about failure modes. It reiterates point 8 — set evals aside, inspect 10 traces first, and the nasty failures you uncover will tell you what your evals should measure.
