Automated Model Evaluation Framework for Production AI
AI teams lack standardized evaluation frameworks for production models, relying on ad-hoc metrics. A comprehensive evaluation platform with custom metric definitions and regression detection could prevent quality degradation in production AI systems.
Problem Statement
AI teams deploy model updates without rigorous evaluation pipelines. Basic accuracy metrics miss nuanced quality issues. Production regressions are detected through user complaints days after deployment. Each team builds custom evaluation harnesses that are fragile and poorly maintained.
The Idea
A production model evaluation platform with custom metrics, automated regression detection, and evaluation pipeline orchestration for AI teams shipping models to production.
Why Now
Model quality degradation is the #1 cause of AI feature failures in 2026. Teams report 30% of model updates cause regressions that are caught only through user complaints. Standardized evaluation tooling is the missing layer between model training and production deployment.
Target User
ML engineers and AI product managers at companies with 3+ models in production requiring quality assurance
Target Market
Companies with production AI systems where model quality directly impacts user experience and business metrics

Production AI Agent Evaluation and Regression Testing Framework
AI agent frameworks are proliferating but teams lack production-grade evaluation tools. A framework that tests agent behavior across scenarios, detects regressions in reasoning quality, and monitors production performance fills a critical gap.

Teams running local LLMs for agentic tasks face compounding failure rates: 90% per-step accuracy drops to 40% over five steps. A framework-agnostic guardrails layer that adds retry nudges, step enforcement, and VRAM-aware context management can bridge the gap between an 8B model and frontier APIs. Forge demonstrated this by taking Ministral 8B from 53% to 99.3% on multi-step workflows.
