Agent Building

LLM evaluation framework and registry (OpenAI Evals). Framework for evaluating LLMs and LLM-based systems with a registry of community-contributed eval templates. Supports model-graded evals, classification, simple completion matching, and custom completion functions. Use for systematic LLM quality testing, regression detection, and prompt engineering validation.

10. Production Eval Pipeline Pattern

# CI/CD eval pipeline
def run_eval_suite(model_name, eval_names):
    results = {}
    for eval_name in eval_names:
        cmd = f"oaieval {model_name} {eval_name} --max_samples 200"
        result = subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True, capture_output=True)
        results[eval_name] = parse_accuracy(result.stdout)
    return results

# Regression test
previous = {"mmlu": 0.86, "gsm8k": 0.92, "hellaswag": 0.85}
current = run_eval_suite("my-finetuned-model", ["mmlu", "gsm8k", "hellaswag"])

for name, score in current.items():
    if score < previous[name] - 0.02:  # 2% regression threshold
        alert(f"Regression in {name}: {previous[name]:.2f} → {score:.2f}")

Key Patterns

Start with templates — most evals don't need custom Python code
Use model-graded evals for subjective quality (fluency, helpfulness, safety)
Use match evals for objective metrics (classification, multiple choice)
git lfs fetch --all is required before running community evals
Custom completion functions enable testing non-OpenAI models
Record paths enable debugging individual failures
Private evals can test proprietary data without exposing it
