LLM Evaluation vs Agent Evaluation
LLM evaluation scores model outputs; agent evaluation measures the whole goal-directed system, including tools, state, constraints, reliability, latency, and cost.
-
AI Agent Evaluation Explained
Agent evaluation measures task outcomes, trajectories, tool behavior, constraints, safety, reliability, latency, and cost—not only final prose.
-
Agent Traces and Trajectories
Learn how traces and trajectories represent observable agent execution without requiring storage or exposure of private chain-of-thought.
-
Sequential vs Parallel Agent Execution
Compare sequential, parallel, and hybrid agent execution by dependencies, latency, cost, state transfer, synchronization, aggregation, and failure handling.
