Start with functional eval: instruction following and workflow completion
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-10-13
Fragment of an AI-evaluation thread. Functional evaluation is the first dimension: does the system do what it's supposed to — follow instructions, produce expected outputs, use tools correctly and complete workflows? It verifies core functionality. The linked fragment covers factuality & groundedness evaluation: verify claims, check citations, compare answers with sources and detect unsupported statements, especially important for RAG applications to reduce hallucinations.
