Eugene Yan launches AlignEval to simplify and automate LLM evaluation

Eugene Yan has launched AlignEval, a new application designed to simplify and automate the process of evaluating large language models (LLMs). The tool guides users through uploading data, labeling samples as pass or fail, defining evaluation criteria, and optimizing LLM-based evaluators. AlignEval emphasizes a data-first approach, encouraging users to derive evaluation criteria from actual model outputs rather than pre-defined metrics, aiming to reduce bottlenecks in AI product development.
