Gotchu. Yeah that's pretty quick, awesome thanks!

Makes sense, simpler=better. Thanks!

The guy who reviews all of this, is his role in the company fully dedicated to reviewing these eval pipelines?
Comment · 8 months ago
Yeah, it feels like an unsolved problem still. I've also seen many teams spend hours on human review in eval pipelines (and this accumulates with each new model that gets released).

Have some good takeaways / feedback on this? First time I hear about Braintrust (the eval platform) so I'll look into it but I'm curious on your experience with it so far.

And I think this is a common problem actually — figuring out what to measure and how to measure it – it's not black and white. What I do is have a few dimensions to measure it against (this may or may not fit your use case): relevance, instruction following, clarity, hallucination rate, etc. but even then, it becomes hard to measure things like 'clarity'.

I'd love to hear more about what you're working on (if you're open to sharing!).

I like to play with knowledge base powered chatbots but what's most useful to me (and probably my primary use case) is coding agents since I use CC every day. Recently I just heard about Minimax m2.5 which apparently is a pretty good coding agent (they say it's comparable to opus 4.6) but I haven't tried it yet — plus it'd take a lot of time to figure out whether it's better or not.

Any takeaways on Promptfoo?

Any takeaways? Has it been helpful? OpenAI just acquired them so it's probably useful but I was curious to hear more from people who've actually used it.

Yeah it's a super tedious process and I was hoping that _maybe_ there is a tool out there that can help with this.

Ah good read, thanks for sharing!

Yeah that's essentially what I'm looking for. Since now that AI has become such a core part of most businesses, it's pretty critical to use the _best_ models + prompts for whatever your use case is.

Ah, interesting – yeah only swapping out the model isn't super insightful since models perform differently given different prompts. I'm going to look into GEPA, thanks!

This is interesting approach, thanks for the insight! If I may ask, _approximately_ how long does it take to test a newly-released model with the current strategy?

Do you play with the temperature/top k parameters at all?
