Learn about LLM evaluations
LLM evaluations are structured tests designed to measure how effectively a large language model (LLM) produces accurate, relevant, and coherent outputs. By examining models across various tasks and scenarios, organizations can uncover errors, check for biases, and optimize responses.
Evaluations help maintain quality (ensuring correctness and clarity), safety (identifying dangerous or biased content), and reliability (monitoring consistency over time). They also speed up iterations, as you can easily compare how different prompts, model versions, or training strategies influence performance.
LLMJ stands for “LLM-as-a-judge” model evaluation. It’s a type of model-based evaluation that blends automated metrics, human context, and the AI model’s own judgments. By combining quantifiable data with an LLM’s capacity for contextual reasoning, LLMJs can offer faster, more scalable, and often surprisingly nuanced feedback. However, human oversight and proper validation remain crucial to avoid bias reinforcement or incorrect self-assessment. When balanced well, LLMJs provide a holistic view of model performance, ensuring reliable and trustworthy outputs.
At Atla, we’ve thoughtfully created an LLMJ evaluator model, Selene that is trained specifically for the purpose of evaluation. Selene overcomes the self-inforcement bias of models favoring their own outputs. You can access Selene for evaluations using our Python SDK.
With these tools, you can successfully get a balanced mix of efficiency, detail, and reliability, helping you confidently track and improve model performance.
