#LLM-as-Judge

LLM-as-judge evaluation uses one language model to assess the output quality of another. Posts cover LLM-as-judge implementation in Microsoft Agent Framework evaluation pipelines, scoring rubric design, and the calibration practices that make automated evaluation reliable enough for production quality gates.

LLM-as-a-Judge

When there's no reference answer and no rule to check, you can ask a strong model to grade the output — LLM-as-a-judge. It's the technique that made open-ended evaluation practical at scale, and it's also a minefield: judges have systematic biases, can be gamed, and agree with humans only when you design the grading carefully. Used well it's indispensable; used naively it produces confident numbers that mean nothing.
