Practical AI Evals in Production

How to create evaluation loops that improve reliability without slowing product iteration.

Shipping an LLM feature without evals is a short path to trust erosion.

I structure evals in three layers:

  1. Pre-merge checks for prompts and tool wiring.
  2. Canary slice evals on real traffic samples.
  3. Weekly drift audits to spot quality decay.

The key is treating evals as product instrumentation rather than a one-time benchmark exercise.
