Intent and implementation

The “LLM-as-a-judge” feature in MLflow 2.8 automates LLM evaluation, offering a practical alternative to human judgment. It’s designed to be efficient and cost-effective, maintaining consistency with human scores. This tool supports various metrics, including standard and customizable GenAI metrics, and allows users to select an LLM as a judge and define specific grading criteria.
