If Your AI Scores 100%, Your Eval Is Wrong - Ramakrishnan Lokanathan, eslams.com

Ramakrishnan Lokanathan argues that AI evals are broken because they are overcomplicated, and lays out a practical framework for building them for high-stakes applications: define the most ambitious version of success, test every step of a workflow, combine automated checks with human review and adversarial tests, guard against regressions, and turn real user failures into tests. He also introduces eSlams, an open-source package where models compete in games like chess, Go, and poker as a window into how they reason.
