24 alternatives to Scorecard – Evaluate LLMs like Waymo simulates cars
Hey HN! I built self-driving sim and eval at Waymo. Now I’m building Scorecard to bring that approach to agent eval: reproducible, automated scoring for AI. Scorecard lets you: - Run LLM-as-judge evals on agent workflows: test tool usage, multi-step reasoning, and task completion in CI/CD or in a playground. - Debug failures with OpenTelemetry traces: see which tool failed, why your agent looped, and where reasoning went wrong. - Collaborate on datasets, simulated agents, and evaluation metrics.

Hi HN! Run it: OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk" npx bff-eval --demo We built a tool to help people take LLM outputs and easily grade them / eval them to know how good an assistant response is. We've built a number of LLM apps, and while we could ship decent tech demos, we were disappointed with how they'd perform over time. We worked with a few companies who had the same problem, and found out scientifically building prompts and evals is far from a solved problem... writing these things feels more like directing a play than coding. Inspired by Anthropic's constitutional ai concepts, and amazing…

LLM Stats▲293I was overspending on GPT-4o. It was really hard to compare different models I could switch to, so I built this LLM comparison tool. It shows leaderboards, pricing, and performance data across 100+ LLMs (including all major providers and open-source models). Key features: - Live pricing comparisons - Benchmark Scores (MMLU, HumanEval, GPQA, etc.) - Context length vs cost analysis - Speed/throughput tests across providers - Quality vs price visualizations - Open source (all data verifiable) Try it out: https://llmstats.com I'd like to know your opinion :) Tech stack: Next.js,…

Hi HN! My name is Olaf, I work at CircleCI as a technology advisor in the CTO office, came in through the acquisition of my company Vamp.io (progressive delivery for microservices on k8s) in 2021. Wanted to hear the HN community feedback and thoughts on a project we think could be very interesting when adding AI coding agents to the SDLC and your CI pipelines. Our team at CircleCI built Chunk sidecars after repeatedly running into the same issue internally: by the time our CI catches a failure, the agent has already moved on and most of the useful context is gone. The basic idea of Chunk…

I have been working in AI space for a while now, first at FAANG with ML since 2021, then with LLM in start-ups since early 2023. I think LLM Application development is extremely iterative, more so than any other types of development. This is because to improve an LLM application performance (accuracy, hallucinations, latency, cost), you need to try various combinations of LLM models, prompt templates (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought), prompt context with different RAG architecture, different agent architecture, and more. There are thousands of possible combinations and you need a process…

I've been working on a site [1] to give people control of their LLM workflows through AI evals - automated checks that, once defined, let you move fast without regressions and cut through hype with proof. That one-liner is aimed at software engineers, but I've spent my career helping cross-functional teams collaborate, and that's really what this is about. AI agents make powerful workflows very plausible, but only if teams can grow them incrementally without losing control - no vendor lock-in, no discipline silos, no blind trust in outputs. The site tries to meet different audiences where…

Hi there, HN! We’re Jai and Sanket from DeepSource (YC W20), and today we’re launching Autofix Bot, a hybrid static analysis + AI agent purpose-built for in-the-loop use with AI coding agents. AI coding agents have made code generation nearly free, and they’ve shifted the bottleneck to code review. Static-only analysis with a fixed set of checkers isn’t enough. LLM-only review has several limitations: non-deterministic across runs, low recall on security issues, expensive at scale, and a tendency to get ‘distracted’. We spent the last 6 years building a deterministic, static-analysis-only…

Argmin AI▲32Hey, HN community! We've built Argmin AI after shipping LLM features where the demo worked, then the bill and latency got unpredictable in production. Prompts expanded, context grew, retrieval got noisy, retries appeared, and agent workflows added loops. Argmin AI optimizes LLM-related expenses as a system: 1. prompt and context efficiency 2. model selection and routing 3. RAG inefficiencies and caching opportunities 4. agent workflows (tool calls, retries, loop control) Changes are validated with evals and guardrails (tests, gates, judges), tailored to your quality definition and goals.…

Spec27▲34Hi HN! We’re a team of ML validation specialists and we’ve been building /Spec27, a tool for testing whether AI agents still do their job safely and reliably as models, prompts, tools, and surrounding systems change. We started working on this because a lot of current LLM evaluation work seems aimed at scoring general model behavior, while many teams are deploying systems that have a specific mission to fulfill. Many of the tools also assume you have full access to the agent stack and traces so you can place SDKs and Gateways, but a lot of agents are being created on vendor platforms…

Spelltest framework simulates conversations between AI ‘synthetic users' in an environment to test and refine LLM-based applications. It ensures your app converse with utmost accuracy and relevance. Post-chat, Spelltest assesses responses, providing qualitative and quantitative feedback on performance. Suitable for both chat and completion modes. When to use: - After modifying your prompt. - When your LLM provider updates. - As a CI step for you repo. All feedback and collaborations appreciated!

Hey all! @sridatta and I wrote a book/zine called Forest Friends on system evals for LLM-driven apps. But it's a bit more whimsical, a bit more visual, and very much inspired by the meme of LLMs being a shoggoth polished into a smiley face with RLHF. LLM system evals are important as companies move past the flashy AI demos to reliable production apps. System evals keep coming up as the answer for what you "should do", but it's not exactly a standard part of the software engineering toolkit. So we pulled from @sridatta's seven years as a research engineer at Google, plus a ton of best…

Promposer.AI▲10Recently I found myself spending too much time testing edge cases when building LLM agents. Re-running the same case over and over again really kills the vibe and takes the fun out of building. As Andrej Karpathy (and others) have said, it should really be called “context engineering” rather than prompt engineering. Writing instructions is the easy part. The hard part is providing the right context and tools while staying within context window limits. And evaluation is the slowest step. That’s the main purpose of Promposer: to handle evaluations for you, so you can focus on improving prompts…

Chainix▲12Hey everyone! I built this because I was tired of manually handling customer support for my web app and couldn't get an AI system to handle requests reliably. I tried different AI tools to help with support tickets, but when they handled requests incorrectly, it was impossible to determine why, and even harder to figure out what I needed to change to improve the system. I wanted to break down my logic of how the AI should think through the problem step-by-step, but everything had to be crammed into one prompt. Without the volume of clean training data needed for fine-tuning, I was stuck with…

Hi I am Aditi and I co-founded Potpie AI with my college mate Dhiren. We are building an open-source infrastructure to create custom agents for engineering use-cases like debugging, system design, integration testing, PR review etc. The agents are powered by a knowledge graph built on your code base to provide better context and memory, leading to better planning and execution. Currently we offer 6 ready-to-use agents but you can also build your custom agents. You can tune agent parameters like purpose, goals, background etc. and they are also empowered by pre-built tooling like code…

Every time I wanted to use LLMs in my existing pipelines the integration was very bloated, complex, and too slow. This is why I created a lightweight library that works just like scikit-learn, the flow generally follows a pipeline-like structure where you “fit” (learn) a skill from sample data or an instruction set, then “predict” (apply the skill) to new data, returning structured results. High-Level Concept Flow Your Data --> Load Skill / Learn Skill --> Create Tasks --> Run Tasks --> Structured Results --> Downstream Steps And the bast part: Every step can be saved and reused as…
