Evaluation Space and LLM Performance

The podcast episode discusses the evaluation space in the context of language model (LLM) performance. It highlights the importance of evaluating LLMs in real-world applications and emphasizes the need to prioritize evaluation before considering fine-tuning. The episode explores the challenges of evaluating LLM outcomes, including retrieval accuracy and response correctness. It also showcases the concept of LLM as a judge, where an LLM evaluates the output of another LLM, and how it can be used to improve the performance of LLM-based applications. The episode also introduces Phoenix, an open-source package for LLM observability, which offers features like full trace visualization and evals library for task evaluation.
