Basics

evaluate

To evaluate an AI system means to systematically test how well it performs, using set questions, tasks, or criteria, rather than just trying it out informally. This can cover accuracy, safety, tone, or how well it handles specific tasks, and is used both by developers building AI tools and by people choosing or configuring an AI agent. Evaluation results help decide whether a model or agent is good enough to rely on for a given purpose.
