    Why Your LLM Eval Harness Is Lying to You (And How to Fix It)

    A new approach to evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) has been proposed to address the issue of static evaluation harnesses failing to detect model regressions. This method involves refreshing evaluation datasets weekly with real production traces, stratified by intent cluster to ensure representative sampling. Additionally, a permanent adversarial set, curated from actual customer support tickets indicating model failures, is weighted heavily in the evaluation process to prioritize real-world performance.

    Chunk Overlap: The RAG Parameter Most Teams Pick Wrong

    Many Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines incorrectly use a default chunk overlap of 200 tokens, a setting popularized by early LangChain tutorials. This default, while convenient for generic examples, can lead to decreased recall and increased storage costs, especially for structured documents where overlap is unnecessary. The author proposes a simple ablation study, achievable in under an hour, to determine the optimal chunk size and overlap for a specific corpus, thereby improving RAG performance and efficiency. AI
