How To Build AI Evals

Lucas (Nova Escola), hosted by Hamel Husain · Hamel Husain

A practitioner's honest account of building an evals pipeline at a 29-person edtech company with only 6 engineers — including the parts that failed. Lucas covers going from spreadsheets to a Claude + LangFuse workflow, discovering that inter-annotator agreement was worse than a coin flip, and eventually calibrating 4 LLM judges into production. If you're wondering what evals look like outside of course material, this is it.

  • Initial inter-annotator agreement was worse than random for many criteria — the fix was months of rubric clarification and re-labeling, not better models.
  • Biggest resource-saving mistake correction: stop labeling data for non-problems; only label failure modes actually discovered through error analysis.
  • Calibrated judges serve double duty: CI gates on PRs to catch regressions, plus daily monitoring on ~80% of production output to track quality drift.
  • They calibrated judges with GPT-4 while generating with a cheaper model — but once calibrated, you must keep the same judge model or your TPR/TNR metrics are invalid.
