And how you can debug themDisclaimer: The opinions stated here are my own, not necessarily those of my employer.
In my previous essay, I ranted about why benchmarks are pretty much useless for judging model use in actual products (BEFORE Satya Nadella, if I might add) and why you need custom evals. This essay is a rant about what could go wrong when you implement custom evals, especially when you use human raters.
