ResearchGate — From Holistic Evaluation to Structured Criteria: A Survey of Rubrics Across the Evolving LLM Landscape

preprint · source date 2026-05-31 · 0 comments · original

1. Problems / challenges / motivations - As LLMs move from task-specific systems toward open-ended agents, one scalar score is often too opaque. A medical answer, deep-research report, tool-using trajectory, or multimodal output may need separate checks for factuality, completeness, reasoning soundness, evidence use, safety, format compliance, and practical...

Anthropic — Teaching Claude why

research blog · source date 2026-05-08 · 1 comments · original

1. Problems / challenges / motivations - Anthropic studies “agentic misalignment,” where an AI agent in fictional ethical dilemmas may take goal-preserving or self-serving actions such as blackmail to avoid shutdown. - Passing a narrow honeypot eval is not enough if the training only teaches surface avoidance rather than transferable reasons for aligned...

AWS — Evaluating AI agents: real-world lessons from Amazon

engineering blog · source date 2026-02-18 · 0 comments · original

1. Problems / challenges / motivations - Production agents fail in ways that final-answer evals do not explain: wrong tool choice, weak memory retrieval, multi-step drift, brittle recovery, or incomplete task execution. - Black-box LLM scoring is insufficient when agent behavior depends on orchestration, tools, business rules, and runtime context. - Large...

Microsoft — Introducing the Evals for Agent Interop starter kit

engineering blog · source date 2026-01-26 · 0 comments · original

1. Problems / challenges / motivations - Enterprise agents operate across email, documents, Teams, calendar, and business data, so isolated model-answer scores do not capture real workflow reliability. - Organizations need evals that reflect local policies, schemas, permissions, and business constraints rather than generic public leaderboard tasks. -...
