What it does

Stax is a tool from Google Labs to solve LLM evaluation. Move beyond "vibe testing" by building custom autoraters to measure what matters to you. It's a full toolkit for testing your AI stack with your data, with support for all major model providers.

Stax gives you the hard data and flexible tools to see what

Stop chasing generic benchmarks. Start building for your users. Stax gives you the hard data and flexible tools to see what's really working in your AI, so you can build breakthrough products with confidence. Replace manual, one-off tests with powerful, repeatable evaluations so you can innovate at speed and deploy with confidence. Tailor metrics and evaluators to your product, your users—not generic benchmarks. Make smarter model choices using hard data and key performance metrics to know you're ready to launch. Repeatable, insightful AI evaluation, from first experiment to production releases. Quickly compare models, prompts, and AI orchestrations to get a feel for the best performers.

    I 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! 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…

  • I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

    Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
