# DASF-49 — Automate LLM evaluation

Source: [official compendium, Databricks AI Mitigation Controls, row 51](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lD5nKC1QNoUTDXdMp31NA9eKcUYGjhtC34MCfQpqpGo/edit#gid=780486953&range=A51:AB51). Snapshot: 2026-10-22; source revision: DASF v 1.0.

## 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.

## Verification

Project adaptation: **get_control** returns a concrete evidence request, a proposed test, and an acceptance condition. A control description or product feature is not evidence of deployment or effectiveness.
