Original: Building Production-Grade LLM Evaluation Pipelines: From Vibes to Metrics

Short summary

A practical guide to building automated LLM evaluation pipelines that replace manual 'looks good to me' reviews with measurable metrics. The author shares a post-mortem where 500+ users saw hallucinated responses due to lack of automated eval, then details a judge-based harness covering faithfulness, instruction following, JSON schema validation, safety, and domain expertise. Includes Python code for an evaluation harness with LLM judges, threshold-based pass/fail, and CI/CD integration.

  • Manual review ('vibes-based eval') missed hallucinations affecting 500+ users in production
  • Judge ensemble covers faithfulness, instruction following, schema validation, safety, and domain accuracy
  • Pipeline integrates into CI/CD to block merges that degrade quality, catching 92% of hallucinations

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
