Launch Week Day 2 (2/5): Scheduled Evals
Blog post from Confident AI
Confident AI's Launch Week introduces "Scheduled Evals," a solution designed to automate regular evaluations of AI models, addressing the often neglected but crucial workflow of consistent performance assessments over time. Unlike CI/CD evaluations, which serve as gatekeepers to prevent bad code from being deployed, Scheduled Evals act as ongoing monitors to detect slow drift, dataset staleness, and regression patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. This tool simplifies the process by allowing teams to set evaluation frequencies and configure variable mappings so that evaluations occur automatically and results are readily available for review. By replacing manual reminders and the risk of human oversight with automated processes, Confident AI aims to ensure that recurring quality checks become an integral part of AI model maintenance, ultimately leading to better-performing AI applications and more informed stakeholder reviews.
