Evaluating LLMs the Right Way: Lessons from Hex's Journey 45:39

45 weeks önce45:39

I recently sat down with Bryan Bischof, AI lead at Hex, to dive deep into how they evaluate LLMs to ship reliable AI agents. Hex has deployed AI assistants that can automatically generate SQL queries, transform data, and create visualizations based on natural language questions. While many teams struggle to get value from LLMs in production, Hex has cracked the code. In this episode, Bryan shares the hard-won lessons they've learned along the way. We discuss why most teams are approaching LLM evaluation wrong and how Hex's unique framework enabled them to ship with confidence. Bryan breaks down the key ingredients to Hex's success: - Choosing the right tools to constrain agent behavior - Using a reactive DAG to allow humans to course-correct agent plans - Building granular, user-centric evaluators instead of chasing one "god metric" - Gating releases on the metrics that matter, not just gaming a score - Constantly scrutinizing model inputs & outputs to uncover insights For show notes and a transcript go to: https://hubs.ly/Q02BdzVP0 ----------------------------------------------------- Humanloop is an Integrated Development Environment for Large Language Models.

50% of AI contracts at Ironclad’s largest customers are now automatically negotiated with the help of generative AI. Ironclad were one of the earliest adopters of LLMs, starting when the best model was still GPT-3. There’s a lot of hype around AI agents without many successful examples but Ironclad had successfully deployed them in one of the most sensitive industries imaginable. In this episode Cai explains how they achieved this. Why they had to build their own visual programming language to make agents reliable and shares his advice for AI leaders starting to build products today.
