Building Production-Grade LLM Evaluation Pipelines: From Vibes to Metrics
Short summary
Duplicate of an earlier post on building production-grade LLM evaluation pipelines. A team replaced manual 'looks good' testing with an automated LLM judge ensemble (faithfulness, instruction following, JSON schema, safety, domain expert) that catches 92% of hallucinations pre-deployment. Includes Python code for the evaluation harness, judge abstractions, and GPT-4o-mini integration via instructor.
