How to Construct Domain Specific LLM Evaluation Systems: Hamel Husain and Emil Sedgh

19 minutesAdvancedBuilderAI EngineerAI for Business

AI Engineer. Hamel Husain and Rechat's CTO walk through the eval system behind a real AI product: why generic off-the-shelf evals fail, a layered setup of assertions, logged traces with human review, and LLM judges kept aligned with a domain expert, and how a working eval system unlocks data curation and fine-tuning. It is the production case study for the article's argument that evals are regression-catching machinery, not a leaderboard.

AI Expert note

Recorded mid-2024; specific tools have moved on but the system design has not. Treat it as an architecture reference, not a vendor guide, and keep the domain expert in the loop as the talk insists.

What you should get from this

See how a production team layers assertions, human review and LLM judges so regressions surface before release.
