The premise
The best eval platform is the one your team integrates into CI within a week; impressive feature lists matter less than ergonomics for your stack.
What AI does well here
- List candidate platforms (open-source and hosted)
- Score on CI integration, scoring methods, and dataset versioning
- Estimate setup time honestly
- Recommend a 'minimum viable evals' you can run before picking
What AI cannot do
- Replace deciding what 'good' means for your task
- Make your team run evals consistently
- Substitute for engineering culture
