The original title is about building production-grade LLM evaluation pipelines. Let me rewrite this for a mobile feed.
Original: Building Production-Grade LLM Evaluation Pipelines: From Vibes to Metrics
Short summary
A team shares how they replaced manual 'looks good to me' testing with an automated LLM evaluation pipeline that catches 92% of hallucinations before deployment. The system uses a judge ensemble (faithfulness, instruction following, JSON schema validation, safety, domain expert) running in CI/CD with versioned golden datasets. After a production incident where 500+ users saw hallucinated responses, the team built regression detection that blocks merges degrading quality.
- •Manual evaluation ('ask 5 questions, thumbs up') failed in production—500+ users saw hallucinated responses
- •Automated judge ensemble (faithfulness, instruction following, safety, domain expert) catches 92% of hallucinations pre-deployment
- •Evaluation runs in CI/CD with versioned golden datasets and regression detection that blocks degrading merges
